Short Term Rental
Our short-term rental scheme is available to professional orchestras and recognised education establishments and ABO affiliated orchestras. It is designed to offer hire of a high-quality instrument for a short period, for example an Oboe d’Amore for Ravel’s Boléro or E flat clarinet for West Side Story.
Instruments are available for weekly hire, with payment in advance. Late fees will be charged for any instrument not returned on time.
Booking in advance is advisable to avoid disappointment.
Please Get in Touch to confirm availability. Once the booking is approved, we can email you a payment link for the rental period (plus delivery and/or collection if necessary).
Instruments must be insured as a requirement for the period of hire, for which we will arrange cover. Under the terms of the cover, all hire instruments must remain in the UK. Alternatively, you may arrange your own insurance, equivalent to the level of cover offered by our own insurance company. In this instance, we need to see proof of insurance prior to the hire commencing. The hirer is liable for loss or damage.
Instruments will be sent out fully serviced and may not be taken to any other repairers during the hire period. If there are any issues when the instrument is first assembled, please contact us immediately so we can arrange a solution.
Reeds are not supplied with any of our reed instruments.
