Rent-to-Own
Complete the rental contract payments, and the instrument is yours to keep.
Rental Basics
Is there a minimum rental period?
There is no minimum rental period associated with our rentals, and you can cancel it anytime by returning the instrument to us. You will only be charged for the period starting when you receive the item until it is returned to a Tarpley Music location.
What shipping options are available?
You have several options for receiving your rental with Tarpley Music.
- Ship to Address: We can ship directly to your home. Orders are processed within 48 hours and typically arrive in 1-5 days after processing, depending on your location.
- Pick Up at School: The instrument can be delivered directly to the school when our Music Education Specialist visits next.
- Pick Up at Store: You can also pick up your instrument at your local Tarpley Music. The store will notify you when your instrument is ready for pickup, usually in less than 48 hours.
What if my student no longer wants to play music?
Occasionally, playing music may not be the right fit for every student. While we hope this isn't the case for yours, it's a reality for some students and that's ok.
If your student finds music challenging, it's important to encourage them to persevere. Often, just a bit more practice can make it more enjoyable. They'll likely appreciate your support and persistence in the long run.
However, if despite your encouragement, they remain disinterested, remember that you can return your instrument to Tarpley Music at any time, and the payments will stop.
Can I rent an instrument if I am not a student?
Yes, Tarpley Music is pleased to offer instrument rentals to everyone learning music, whether independently or through a school.
Do you do credit checks for student instrument rentals?
No, we do not do credit checks for student instrument rentals. Our philosophy is simple: if your student is enrolled in a school music program, then you're approved.
