​RENTING AN INSTRUMENT AT HIGH STRUNG

How do I know if renting is better than buying?
Renting is an easy way to see if purchasing is right for you. It's also a good option if your student is growing and will need to up size over time. 

How long am I obligated to rent? 
There is no obligation to rent for a year or semester as the rental contract is month to month. You can terminate the contract at any time. 

Can I rent to own? 
No, our rental instruments are NOT for sale. Our rental contracts are rent to rent only. 

What is rental credit? 
When you rent at High Strung, the principle amount of the rent that you pay accrues as credit that can be used toward the purchase price of a new instrument when you are ready to buy.  
Please note you have 60 days after you return your instrument, ending your contract, to use rental credit. 

How much is the security deposit fee?
​A $50 security deposit is required.  This is refunded when the rental instrument is returned, as long as the rental was current (no amount due), and the instrument is in good condition.

How do I pay for my rental? When is rent due? 
Rental payments are due on the first of the month for that month's rent. We require a credit/debit card be placed on file for autopay. Autopay is run on the 1st of the month. 

RENTING WITH A PEACE OF MIND

What do I get with my rental? 
The rental program includes a maintenance plan for repairs and strings. Rentals come with a case/padded bag, bow, rosin, shoulder rest/cello end stop, cleaning cloth, pencil, and name tag. 

What does the Maintenance Plan cover? 
Common issues that can pop up over the course of renting are covered. E.g. broken strings, bridges, bows, case issues, open seams, fallen sound post, etc.. 

What is NOT covered by the maintenance plan? 

Heat damage (E.g. being left in a car), malicious damage (E.g. carving a name into an instrument), neglect, and theft. If theft does happen to occur, we require a copy of the police report with the Serial/Sku number (found on your rental contract) listed on the report.
​
How much is the Maintenance Plan? 
The maintenance plan accounts for $10 of violin, viola rentals & cello rentals, and is included in the rental price.
