Q: Is it better to rent by the term, or by the month?
A: For anything but the shortest period, rental by the school term will always save money. A clarinet on term rental of $39 works out at $13/month, and you don't pay for 'dead time' (like school holidays), as you do with monthly rental which can be up to $35/month for the same type of instrument.

Q: What is more important in an instrument: build quality and performance, or brand name?
A: Generally, specialist makers (like Buffet, Pearl, Blessing, Leblanc) make the best student instruments. They may not be as well known as 'everything' makers like Yamaha, but in most cases, they will outperform 'everything' makers in their very specialised instrument types. Perform! Rental instruments are selected to deliver excellent performance at a moderate cost.

Q: What if I am renting a standard student instrument, but want to end up buying a premium instrument?
A: Firstly, if you wish to rent a premium, fully USA made instrument, you can choose the Perform! Plus rental option. If you are renting a standard instrument and wish to purchase an upgrade, we will deduct your establishment fee and first term rental, and you can even choose to spread the remaining cost over up to 6 months!

Q: Am I obligated to make a purchase?
A: No. Many of our customers are happy to simply rent, at the low cost of $13 - $20 per month (most instruments). On the more expensive monthly rental plans, you can quickly reach a point where the cost will force you to purchse, whether you are ready or not.

Q: How long does your application process take?
A: If you come to the store, in most cases you will be up and running with an instrument within 10-15 minutes! Just remember your driver's license and credit card or direct deposit information. With many other stores rental programs, you have to wait for them to get an instrument in for you - your time is valuable!

Q: What if my rental instrument needs maintenance?
A: We want you up and running quickly, and will arrange priority servicing. If your instrument is not ready within 7 days, we will replace it. (Alternative arrangements may apply if fault is caused by the renter.)

Q: Why does it cost less to rent with Perform! Music Rentals than other rental plans?
A: You rent directly with an independent, Qld owned business. In many of our instruments, the rental is like this:

Most other stores act as commissioned agents for large, higher overhead organisations, like this:

All these extra 'hands in the pie' mean that your rental has to fill many extra pockets. Your instrument has to be shipped from interstate and may even need to go interstate to be serviced. This adds time, hassle, and unnecessary overheads - guess who is paying for all of this extra cost? Avoid the middlemen - rent direct from Perform! Rentals at Morris Brothers Music and save time and money!
