Frequently Asked Questions About Rentals

In most cases we can deliver the instrument to your child's school. 

 

Deliveries are typically made within 7 days of the order being finalized and down payment processed.

You will be notified by text message of the expected delivery date.  Instruments are left with the school band director for distribution to students.

There is no interest and no hidden fees in our rental programs.  We are proud to provide one of the lowest costs of total ownership you will find from vs. any area music store.

 

To determine the total cost of the instrument, simply multiply the monthly payment times the number of payments in the Rent-To-Own agreement.

  

For example, an instrument with $35 monthly rent and a 36 month RTO term would be $1,260. This does not include tax, and monthly Comprehensive Coverage is additional and does not count toward the purchase price.

If you choose to!  Our Parter Rental and Reduced Rental progams both provide the opportunity to own the instrument upon completion of all rental payments.

 

In order to maintain Rent-To-Own status the payments must be made year-round for consecutive months for the full term of the agreement. The instrument maintained in good condition.   If you return the instrument and cease payments for any reason, the Rent-To-Own agreement ends and payments cannot be credited toward a future rental.

 

Note that our Gift of Music Program (no monthly rent) is NOT a Rent-To-Own program and the instrument remains property of Gift or Music at all times.

There is no obligation to pay for the instrument for the full term of the Rent-To-Own agreement.  You may cancel at any time and return the instrument to Gift of Music.

 

To cancel, you MUST notify Gift of Music and request cancellation. DO NOT RETURN INSTRUMENTS TO THE SCHOOL OR DIRECTOR UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO.  Schools and Directors are not a party of the rental transaction and have no obligation or authority over the rental agreement.

 

Once the instrument has been physically received by Gift of Music and determined to be in good condition, monthly rental payments will end.

Yes!  If your student elects to switch to a different instrument (that we also have available to rent) you can exchange it at no additional charge.

 

If the instrument you are switching to is on the same rental program and the same price point, the rental agreement does not change and all payments made to date will be applied toward the exchange.  If the instrument is of a different program or a higher price point, the sum of your principal payments to date will be applied toward the new agreement and the monthly rate and length of the agreement may be adjusted.  Contact us for more details if you would like to exchange.

Possibly.  Gift of Music Instruments rental programs are currently only available within a 100-mile radius of our Marietta, GA headquarters.  This is to ensure that we can provide the best possible service including the ability to repair and retrieve the instruments if needed.

 

If your school is within the 100-mile coverage area but not listed, you may select the option of "Other - Not Listed" from the drop-down menus.  Be sure to list the name of the school in the "Rental Notes" section of your request form.

 

We will contact the director of any school where we do not have a current working relationship for approval prior to fulfilling the rental request and scheduling the instrument for delivery.
