Our back to school rental process looks a little different this year. In order to adhere to both state occupancy requirements and to follow CDC guidelines, we have a few new precautions in place to keep you, your families, and our employees safe:
Monday | Storefront Closed. Phones Open. |
Tuesday - Friday | 10 am - 6 pm |
Saturday | 9 am - 5 pm |
For your safety as well as our staff, there will be no in-store trials of rental instruments at this time.
Don’t worry! All of our instruments are set up to the same exacting standards by trained luthiers in our in-house rental workshop. We take pride in the quality of every instrument in our rental fleet so while every instrument sounds different, there are no bad instruments!
Our store occupancy is limited at this time. To show consideration for other customers, please limit your party to two people.
