Went to my daughter's school for "band info" night. Even with Covid, they had the kids trying out wind instruments (I REALLY hope they cleaned them properly between kids). She liked the flute and I was presented with an "agreement" for 4 month trial of $72 (reasonable) and then $40/mo for 2.5 YEARS. The guy (who never even introduced himself) tried to put an "agreement" in front of me; told me it wasn't a purchase contract (really, then what would it be with a total price of over $1,000 on it? That price and my signature makes it a ...contract...).
I hit the brakes; no way am I paying a thousand dollars for anything my kid needs to keep safe, clean and protected... He actually got an attitude, huffing and ripping up the paper.

Read moreYou rent here for years, But you cannot apply the credit for a case or a bow. Not to mention their teacher said their instruments were subpar for the purchase price. They also just be aware do not match any other music stores pricing for accessories.
I would go rent from Austin's violin shop if you're a string customer they're the same price and far better instruments or PM music also for better rental. PM will also allow you to apply the credit for a discount. Thoroughly disappointed with this outfit and will be sharing with the schools...
