Benefits of renting with
RentMyInstrument.com
-
We ship directly to your home! Fast, free, and trackable deliveries to make sure your student is ready on day one.
-
If something breaks, families request a label, ship it to us, we repair it the day it arrives, and ship it back. Most repairs are door-to-door in about a week—seamlessly so you directors can focus on teaching.
-
At any point in the rental process, you are eligible to purchase your instrument for 50% off. (Example- if your balance is $1035 and you rent for one month at $35/month, after that month your balance would be $1000 and you can purchase outright for $500)
-
Clear monthly plans with a straightforward path to ownership. No hidden fees, clear terms make rentals easy for families and hassle-free for you. All you need is a credit/debit card.
-
When a student is ready for a higher-level horn, you can upgrade to a step-up instrument and keep your progress. We handle the upgrade with free shipping, your rental equity transfers, and up to 50% of the rental payments you’ve already made can apply toward ownership of the new instrument. For example, if you’ve paid $350 in rent, up to $175 may count toward owning the step-up model.
-
If a student wants to switch instruments, just ship the current one back for free and we’ll start the new rental—no hassle. Your account doesn’t reset: up to 50% of accumulated rental payments can apply toward ownership of the new choice. This makes trying a different instrument low-risk for families and smooth for directors.
-
Every instrument is cleaned, inspected, and set up before it ships. Students start playing on reliable instruments that meet program standards.
-
From first notes to auditions, families can choose the right level at each stage. Easy to match your recommended lists by grade and ensemble.
-
A curated mix including B.A.C. plus other director-approved options (Jupiter, Yamaha, Eastman, etc). Families get the choice; you get alignment with what works in your program.
-
Real people answer questions quickly by email or phone. Parents get help directly, reducing after-hours messages to directors.
-
When families rent through your unique link, your program earns $1-for-$1 credits each month they pay rent. Redeemable for new B.A.C./825 instruments.

There is no catch! Because we’re the manufacturer and we work directly with schools and families, we don’t pay the typical distributor/retail markups. Instead, we route that value back to your program as dollar-for-dollar credits on every rental tied to your unique link. Our mission is simple: make music education more affordable and band more accessible—so your students get the instruments they need without traditional fundraising.
-
Absolutely not. Rentmyinstrument.com handles all rental logistics directly with parents – online processing, home/school delivery, maintenance, and insurance are all managed by us. Your role is simply to share the unique VBC link. We have a portal set up that shows all student rentals, your credit amount, and an easy-to-use order form.
-
Band directors and school/district administrators. Parents don’t enroll; they simply rent through your program’s link.
-
No, there are no obligations, we just want to be an option for you! We want you to do whatever you believe is best for your program.
-
No. Enrollment is free, and there’s no minimum commitment.

Every $1 of monthly rent = $1 in credits for your program. Example: 10 rentals × $35/month × 12 months = $4,200 credits. Everything is tracked automatically.
-
Credits accrue monthly and follow the program year: Aug 1 – July 31. Credits expire July 31 each year (no carryover), so most programs plan redemptions in spring/summer.
-
You’ll receive a unique program link. Share it with families (email, QR flyer, website). When they rent through that link, your program earns credits each month they pay rent.
-
For rentals, just go to rentmyinstrument.com/repairs, answer a couple of short questions and you will receive a shipping label. Ship it back for free (2 days) and we will repair it same day and send it back. Turnaround time is normally a week or less, quicker than most local music stores.
