HOW IT WORKS

Thanks to supporters and grant funding, we can offer those who qualify a chance to rent their instruments at greatly-reduced prices. We offer quality reconditioned instruments that meet band director standards, with standard repair and  maintenance included at no additional cost. The Reduced program is a no-contract, no credit-check rent-to-own program.

You own it after 24 monthly payments. Cancel any time by simply returning the instrument

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Anyone from a household that already receives assistance from programs including SNAP, TANF, or WIC. If you already meet this requirement, you can enroll right away and get a quality rental instrument at a month price not offered by any retail music store. There is no credit check required. At this time, we are only able to provide these rentals within a 100-mile radius of metro Atlanta.

WHAT DOES IT COST?

This chart shows exactly what is costs to rent from Gift of Music.  You pay a monthly rental fee (plus tax).  Each monthly payment counts toward ownership through the rent-to-own agreement.  The total cost to own the instrument is simply the monthly rent x the number of months listed.  There is no interest or fees.  There is no obligation to own - you are free to cancel at any time, return the instrument in good condition, and owe nothing else.  But if you do elect to make all payments and own the instrument, you'll find the total price to be much lower that you will find at other music stores.  

We also strongly recommend the Comprehensive Coverage Plan which protects against loss, theft, or catastrophic damage to the instrument. Without it, you could be responsible for paying full replacement cost in these situations.  

(Prices shown do not include tax, Comprehensive Coverage for Reduced Program is $3 per month during the rental agreement period)

HOW DO BEGIN MY RENTAL?

Everything can be done online.  There are no paper forms or payment coupons to manage.  Simply choose your school district, school, instrument, complete the basic questions, and make your initial monthly payment online. Enrollment in automatic monthly payments is required. In most cases we will deliver the instrument right to your school. (Private Schools are listed under the District labeled "Private/Charter." If your school is not listed, choose "Other-Not Listed" and enter the name of the school in the "Notes" field).
