My daughter is in 5th grade and wants to join band. She is interested in the Oboe and I had no idea how much oboe costs to rent, or what kinds of equipment you need for it. I called up Colonial Music to find out if they even rent instruments. The guy I talked to was awesome! He was so nice and friendly, not slick and trying to sell me something. He wanted to know what kind of student would be playing it, new student, experienced etc. He asked what school she went to and was actuallu interested in her. I found out that they do rent instruments, what is needed besides the instrument, how much it costs per month, also that there is a maintenance plan you can sign up for that includes and fixes that come up. the maintenance plan is super cheap, and the monthly rental for the instrument is a great deal. You can rent to own, pay it off early if you want to, and even switch instruments somewhere down the line if your child decides they just don't like the one they're playing now. Great folks! Going to be going there for sure.
