School-Approved Rental Instruments Blues to Bach Music Center rents and sells school-approved Band and Orchestra instruments to students throughout the Western Kansas City metro area. Our primary focus includes students in the school districts of Johnson, Wyandotte and Leavenworth Counties in Kansas. We offer both New and Pre-Rented (used) instruments. Our pre-rented instruments have been cleaned, inspected, and are in very good condition. We know that the appearance of a child’s instrument matters to the student, so it matters to us. Instrument Rental Information and Pricing We offer several contract variations including Month-to-Month and School-Year rates for either new or previously rented instruments. All contracts are rent to own with 100% of rental monies paid applying to the purchase of the instrument rented. For band instruments, the first 24 months of payments are transferable to a new step-up instrument of the same type. We allow exchanges for another type of instrument during the rental period. No additional cost. Monthly rental payments are made via auto payment from bank account or credit card and can be cancelled at any time with the purchase or return of instrument. We offer a 35% discount off the remaining balance, at any time, to purchase the instrument early. A valid driver’s license and a security debit card is required to rent an instrument. An optional service agreement is available for an additional $5 per month. This covers normal adjustments and accidental damage repairs at no additional charge. The coverage of major repairs will be the customer’s responsibility. We are required to apply sales tax to all rental prices.
