The Guide to Alto Sax Rental

Renting your Alto Saxophone vs. Buying

Most beginning alto saxophone players start their musical journey by renting their first instrument. When it comes to saxophones, as well as most brass and woodwind musical instruments, there are numerous advantages to renting over buying.

Renting is more affordable

Purchasing a new alto saxophone can easily cost fifteen hundred dollars and up. By contrast, you can rent an alto sax for just around $40 per month. And if you rent from NEMC, all the money you pay in rent can be applied to purchase.

Kids can change their minds

As a parent you know, what a child is excited about one day can change the next. Compared to the high upfront cost of buying, renting an alto sax gives you much greater flexibility. If they decide they’d rather play something else, you can easily swap your rental to a different instrument usually for no added cost. If they decide not to continue in band, you can cancel your rental at any time with no penalty.

What to look for in a alto sax rental package

Not all music instrument rental programs are created equal.
Here’s what you should look for when renting an alto saxophone.

Damage Waiver

Kids can be hard on instruments and things can happen through no fault of their own. Make sure whomever you rent your instrument from offers insurance against the expense of accidental damage, maintenance and loss due to fire and theft.

Included Maintenance

Saxophones, like any musical instrument, are subject to wear and tear and need to be maintained. Make sure the rental program you choose offers repair service at low or no additional cost.

Easy Return or Exchange

Kids’ interests can change. So make sure you can easily change your rental instrument or return it with no penalty or added costs.

Rent to Own

Better rental programs will apply your rental payments towards the cost of purchase. Choosing one of them will give you more for your money… and an instrument at the end.

Ability to Upgrade

When your child advances at saxophone, they may grow out of the beginner-level model. NEMC and other quality rental programs offer you the ability to upgrade your rental rather than lock you into the old instrument.
