Purchase Option
We allow a full two years lease credit to be applied to the purchase of an instrument. You can select from:
- The one you are currently leasing
- A new instrument
- A fine handmade instrument
Your lease credit must be used when you close your lease.
If you purchase an instrument from us and you need to upsize, we will allow 100% trade-in toward the next size less any damage. This 100% trade-in guarantees your investment and relieves you of the trouble of selling the instrument. This trade-in may also be applied to a fine handmade instrument at 80% credit. Normal wear and tear is accepted.
