Rent Band & Orchestra Instruments When you know for sure that your child will definitely be a member of the band or orchestra, it would make most sense to purchase an instrument outright. If you are not sure, it makes more sense to rent. While you are renting, the instrument is covered for damage, fire & theft. The money you are paying goes toward the instrument if you decide to buy, and if you decide not to buy you can return the instrument. When comparing rental plans be sure to compare "oranges to oranges". Don't be fooled by the offer of a "free month of rent". You are just postponing the payment.
