Orchestra Instrument Rent-to-Rent

Overview

C. A. House Music’s Rent-to-Rent Strings Program is designed to grow right along with your child. As they grow, simply exchange their instrument for the next size up at no additional cost. It’s all included in your low monthly rental payment.

 

When their teacher says they’re ready to move up to an intermediate instrument, you can choose a step-up instrument and apply the principal from up to 60% of the payments toward the purchase price. That means you’ll have much less left to pay, and your agreement converts to rent-to-own. Once the remaining payments are complete, the instrument is yours!

 

Exchanges:  When exchanging to the next size instrument, the total of payments you have paid less taxes, maintenance, and late fees, will be credited to the next larger size instrument.

 

Ownership:  If you wish to purchase a 4/4 step-up instrument, you can get up to 60% credit of the principal amount paid on this agreement.  A step-up quality instrument may be available on a rent-to-own basis or as a purchase option.  (See store for details.)  Fractional-sized instruments may not be purchased.

 

Early Payoff Discount:  A 25% discount off the remaining balance of the 4/4 step up instrument price will be given if the instrument is paid in full before the contracted time period. Call 800-755-3214 for early payoff amount.  Discount does not apply to the final payment.

 

Maintenance and Repair Coverage:  C. A. House Music agrees to perform all repairs necessary to keep the instrument in proper playing condition for the maintenance fee of $4.00 per month for Violin and Viola, $5.00 per month for Cello, and $6.50 per month for Bass.
