We offer a full assortment of school orchestra instruments for rent. All our orchestra rental instruments are owned by Ted Brown Music in Tacoma.
You may reserve an orchestra instrument to rent by completing the form below. We will use the data submitted to create your account with Ted Brown Music which will drastically speed up the rental process when you come to pick up the instrument. The only thing we will need at the time of pickup is a physical credit card to put on file for the monthly rent. We will notify you via email when the instrument is ready for pickup.
Renting a school orchestra instrument allows your student to play a high-quality instrument without the worry of ever having to have it serviced. If anything goes wrong, bring it back to exchange it for another one. (Strings are consumables so if one breaks, we can sell you one and we'll put it on and tune it free of charge) And for every year you rent, you will earn 10% off the purchase of a new instrument, up to 3 years at 30% off. You definitely want to wait until your student is in a full-size instrument before purchasing.
Here is a chart to help determine the proper size of instrument for your student.
