Capitol Music remains committed to the goal of putting an instrument in your child's hands (or yours) easier and at less cost than any other music dealer. Whether you purchase the instrument at a substantial savings using our cash discount allowance, or take advantage of one of our many "rent-to-own" plans, renting an instrument from us takes the headache out of your child's starting in band or orchestra.

Your financial obligation to rent any instrument is only two month's rental. After you pay the first two month's rental, you simply decide each month thereafter whether to continue to rent. If you decide not to rent anymore, return the instrument and you pay no more, and you will never be hassled about your decision to stop renting. We strive to make buying or renting an instrument from us such a pleasant experience that you will readily tell others.

Most of our sales staff are former band directors with many years of experience guiding students and their parents toward a rewarding future in instrumental music. They are able to provide product information and even help new students correct common playing problems.

Capitol Music will repair any of its rental instruments, new or used, for up to 34 months at no cost. This service warranty applies to damage as a result of "normal" usage and does not cover catastrophic events such as backing over it in your car! Also, missing parts and abuse are not covered under our service warranty. Jim Darby is a master repair person with over 50 year's experience and an outstanding reputation for first-rate work. Many professional musicians trust his knowledge and skills when it comes to fine adjustments to their own instruments. Also, Darby is proud to have personally called on schools and serviced bands in Alabama longer than any other person in the band instrument business.
