Yearly Rent to Own

The Harknett Music Rent-to-Own program applies 50% of each consecutive year’s rental payments towards the purchase of your rental instrument. The Rent-to-Own program applies to school year rental contracts, purchases must be made on or before June 1, 2025

** First Year Buyout Special **

If you use the Rent-to-Own program to purchase your rental instrument in the first year of your contract, 100% of your rental payment is put towards the purchase. This offer is not valid on monthly or semester rentals.

This is an excellent way to determine if your child enjoys music, without investing in a new instrument immediately.

Quality Instruments

Looks can be deceiving. Our repair specialists are seeing more and more poor quality instruments, therefore, if you think the price sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Harknett Music represents only the finest quality instruments. Our instruments look and

to the industry’s expectations. This means that you are guaranteed an instrument that will be a help, not a hindrance, to your child’s musical education.

Our rental instruments are tested, serviced and cleaned to ensure each instrument is in excellent playing condition. All mouthpieces are sterilized for the safety of the student. Each student should clean their instrument on a regular basis to ensure that it keeps playing well throughout the year.

Optional Protection Plan

Follow-up Service

When we rent an instrument, that's not the end of the story. We back up everything we rent or sell. We will cover, free of charge, all normal maintenance requirements (excluding cleaning, accidental or malicious damage) for as long as you are renting.
