School Instrument Rental History
While this is the first year of operation for Independence School of Music, the
former owners of Prestige music have years of experience renting musical
instruments to band and orchestra students. Dave Kochis and Eric Dregne
also have established a fine reputation among local school system administrators
as the a good choice for band and orchestra instruments and instrument repairs
for their school orchestras.
While I was at Brecksville Music, I evaluated all of the
national school musical instrument rental programs, and selected what I believe
is the best run company in the school instrument rental business... RS Berkeley.
Their instruments are all new or like new. Their customer service has been
excellent, with door-to-door delivery of instruments within two days of my phone
call. We are thus able to keep our overhead very low, yet always have
enough instruments on hand to meet the needs of our customers. Frankly, I have
been very impressed. While at Brecksville Music, I had several teachers
try out the Berkeleys, and without exception they came back with great marks.
I have given horns to my repair tech Ian Indorf, and he said they were great.
Dave and Eric have both tried out the RS Berkeley brass and woodwind instruments
and found them to be of great quality.
I am so excited about this line of instruments, that I am
happy to loan one out to any area school music teacher who would like to play on
a great horn, at very competitive prices.
