Instrument Rentals

Interested in renting an instrument?
The SFYSA has a large inventory of fractional and full size instruments available for rent. As we are not a shop, we have limited quantities of certain instruments and sizes. Rentals are first-come, first-served. 

String instruments include the instrument, bow, and case. Accessories such as a shoulder rest/sponge or cello strap may also be included if needed, and if desired accessory is in stock.

Mariachi instruments (vihuela, guitar, guitarron) come with the instrument and case.

Woodwind and Brass instruments come with the instrument and case.

    Rental Inquiry

    (Only available for SFYSA students)
Submit

Terms and Conditions
Once you fill out an inquiry form, you will be contacted by an SFYSA employee with instrument information, and the rental forms. All rentals are required to be set up as auto payments. When filling out the instrument rental form, you will be required to enter your credit card information, and will be charged on the 1st business day of each month. The instrument brand, serial number, model, and full replacement cost will be provided to you at the time you pick up your instrument. Rent is separate from tuition and can run year-round.
​

Optional Insurance
The optional insurance is $4.00 a month and can be added to your monthly payment. It covers a replacement instrument of comparable quality, condition, and value as determined by SFYSA. Explanation of the insurance follows:
  • 1. An instrument totally destroyed by fire or other accident, or theft occurring not through the fault and/ or malicious intent of the Lessee will be replaced by SFYSA provided that the theft, loss or destruction is reported to the proper authorities, and a written police or fire report is made within twenty-four (24) hours of the event. SFYSA will require a copy of this report documenting any loss or destruction.
  • 2. The insurance does not cover any instrument taken outside of the state of New Mexico. Instruments which are taken out of the state of New Mexico are taken at the Lessee's risk.
  • 3. Any claim for replacement shall not be construed to alter or diminish the terms of the original Rental Agreement. This coverage will be void if you are in default of your Rental Agreement. Your payments must be current.
  • 4. IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances will insurance coverage apply to an instrument which has been subject to intentional or malicious damage or destruction by the Lessee.
5. SFYSA shall be the sole judge in all cases.

Maintenance and Repairs: When you rent an instrument you are assuming the cost of maintenance and repairs, except for repairs covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Maintenance includes the proper cleaning and lubrication of the instrument. Any repairs that are needed when the instrument is being rented are the renters responsibility. This includes damage to the instrument or repairs to keep the instrument in proper playing condition. If the instrument is returned and is in a state of disrepair, except for reasonable wear and tear, you are responsible for the cost of repairs. When an instrument is returned, we will take it to a reputable service shop for assessment, and you will be notified of any damage found, and the cost of repairs.
