FRACTIONAL SIZE STRING INSTRUMENTS ARE RENT-TO-RENT
Understanding Rent-to-Rent: All fractional size string instruments earn credit toward the ownership of a full size instrument. String contracts do not mature until your child has reached the full size instrument.
As your child grows, you may trade-up your string instrument when they are ready for a larger size at no additional fee during your active rental.
Understanding Earned Credit.
The first 12 months, 100% of your rental fee (minus tax and insurance) is applied to the Earned Credit toward owning your full size instrument. After the first 12 months, 25% of your rental fee (minus tax and insurance) is applied to the Earned Credit.
Early pay-off options are also available on full size string instruments, please contact our office for more information.
**Earned credit only applies to your current contract. It is non-transferable and there is no actual dollar value. Contract termination will result in the forfeit of all earned credit.
