Rent to Own

"When you rent an instrument from Stone Cottage Band Instrument Shoppe you combine old fashioned personal service with the advantages of a national band instrument rental company."

Why rent to own?

• Try before you buy! - The rent to own enables the student to try the instrument out before you buy it.  
• No obligation to buy! - If, at any time, you decide to return your instrument, and your account is current, you will have no further obligation to pay. 
• Exchanges! - With certain exchange privleges in the program, you can exchange to a different type of instrument or trade up to a larger size or better quality of instrument in the rental pool.
• Purchasing! - You are earning credit towards purchasing. If you keep your instrument, the base rental rate paid will be applied to the purchase price.  Eventually you will pay the instrument off to completion, just by renting monthly.
• Discounts! - Save money if you choose an early purchase option - There is no cost of rental service fee applied if choose to pay off your rental during the first 12 months. If you decide to purchase early, you will receive a 30% discount off of your balance due for the first 18 months and 10% off for the remainder of the rent to own period.  
• No expensive repair bills! - When you purchase the highly recommended LDW-the liability damage waiver- if a repair is needed during your rental period, we will repair the instrument back to playing condition at no additional cost to the renter. (No deductables or copays.)- See contract for details. 
• EZ Pay!  - Automatic billing using a major credit card, so you will avoid credit checks, late fees, and statement fees.  Some more expensive instruments will require a credit check to rent.
• Fees: There is no cost-of-rental service fee applied for the first 12 months. After 12 months, the cost-of-rental service fee shall be prorated from the date the agreement was signed in determining your early purchase discount. (Most instruments are $6-$12 per month.)
