FAQ

Q. – My Credit Card (information or actual credit card) has been compromised or stolen.

A. – In today’s world having your personal information or credit card compromised is not unusual. We understand. After such an event we also know it may take some time to “clean up” and follow up with all the entities that bill your card number routinely. As soon as you can, please contact us by phone with your new credit card information. We may likewise contact you by email, phone or mail if we have not received payment for a past due charge. Remember, it is your responsibility to always keep an active and billable credit card on file while renting from us.

Q. – I have already returned my rental instrument and am no longer renting from Young Musicians, Inc. Yet, I just received a “rental reminder”.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any alarm this may have caused.

Q. – My teacher says I need a new bow.

A. – Your bow was inspected and approved for rental when you first received your instrument outfit. If within the first few days there is an actual bow issue please contact us immediately. Otherwise, should you or your teacher desire a new bow there will be a $25 fee.

Q. – My teacher says I need a better instrument.

It is important that you be aware that our rental instruments are far above the average rental instrument available from other local vendors.

Upgraded “advanced” instruments will be made available when they are returned by those currently renting them. We will keep your name on a list and notify you when they are available.

Q.- My teacher requested that I rent an instrument by a specific maker.

A. – Simply put – no, the instrument you are renting is exclusively a rental.

Q. – Can I purchase my rental instrument?

A. –After rental instruments have been in use for a period of time they may be available for purchase. Be sure to ask if you are interested in purchasing the instrument you are currently renting.
