Why Rent When You Can Own?

Music stores charge monthly rental fees for student instruments — and you never own anything. For less than the cost of a few months of rental fees, your child can own a quality refurbished instrument outright.

Renting from a Music Store
  • Ongoing monthly fees
  • You never own the instrument
  • Fees add up fast — hundreds of dollars a year
Buying from The 3rd Half
  • One-time price, no monthly fees
  • You own it outright from day one
  • Refurbished and play-tested personally
  • Sell it later and recoup your money
