About the Summer Free AutoPay Program
This program allows you to keep your instrument at the end of the school year and get your first summer free. In September, your monthly rent-to-own payments will begin.
Benefits
- No missed practice time.
- You are ready to start the next school year with your instrument in hand!
- You’re on your way to owning a quality instrument. Keep in mind you can also swap your student instrument rental for a step-up instrument and your rental credit will carry over.
Requirements
You must keep the instrument through at least December 31st, 2025 to qualify for the free summer months. If the instrument is returned before December 31st, 2025, the summer months will be owed at that time.
This offer is only available for those whose instrument rental trial periods end with the 2024-2025 school year.
What to Do This Summer
- Take lessons!
- Give your instrument a tune-up! Your rental includes general maintenance. Summer is a great time to get a cleaning and adjustments so the instrument is ready to play when the school year arrives.
- Stock up on accessories! Do you have enough saxophone or clarinet reeds? Do you have a music stand to practice at home? Do you have an extra set of violin strings in case a string breaks? We’ve got you covered. Our online store is always open and both of our locations carry all of the essentials.
Upright bass, also called string bass or double bass, is a member of the orchestra family. Just as often, however, it appears in jazz, bluegrass, folk, and other genres. With a large hollow body and 4 thick strings, the tones produced by the upright bass are low and rich. The instrument is capable of long, expressive tones when played with a bow; and short, percussive tones when plucked with the strings. String bass is a dynamic and impressive instrument to play!
The oboe is a woodwind and a member of the double-reed family. It is played by blowing air through the reed, attached at the top of the instrument. The reed consists of two very thin pieces of cane, pressed together with a small opening to allow air to pass through. The sound can be high in pitch, but it has a variety of colorful tones, from bright and piercing to low and mysterious.
