    Independence Music School services all Prestige Music Rentals and repairs as a courtesy to former Prestige Music customers.

    The Independence School of Music supports the school music programs in Independence Schools, Brecksville - Broadview Heights Schools, Cuyahoga Heights Schools, Bedford Schools, Cleveland Schools, Maple Heights Schools, and the other surrounding school systems.  We believe that advanced music student and beginner music students alike need quality musical instruments to play and to practice with.  We have searched all of the musical instruments and selected national brands of music instruments that strike a balance between performance and price.

    When considering a musical instrument rental, the most important factor is to be sure that the musical instrument that you rent or own will perform throughout the school year without "breaking down".  The music teachers want to spend their time teaching, not fixing valves and springs on broken down musical instruments.  This is the reason why school music directors recommend that parents NOT go to the internet or Walmart to buy cheap musical instruments.

    Our service is second to none.  When you rent a clarinet or saxophone, your kit will include a quality clarinet or saxophone that has been sanitized, cleaned, inspected, and checked out by a qualified technician.  Your kit will include a reed, a clarinet or saxophone strap, and a case to store your clarinet or saxophone.  Maintenance is included in the price of your monthly rental, so there are no hidden charges when you rent from Independence School of Music.  If you need to change from one instrument to another, simply pay the $10 exchange fee, and you will continue to build equity in your instrument.

    Used instruments, even from well known manufactures such as Yamaha or Selmer or Bach can be problematic if they have not been taken care of.  Likewise, some of the foreign imports have price as the only selling feature and literally fall apart before the end of a single marching band season. This is the reason stores like Royalton Music Center will not even allow their rented instruments to be used for marching band.  When you rent your rent-to-own musical instrument from Independence School of Music, you can be assured of quality.  Our low rental price includes the cost of maintenance on the instrument and you can be assured that we will stand behind our instruments.  If you should have a problem that requires your rented band or orchestra instrument to visit our shop, we will happily give you a loaner (subject to availability) so that you can continue to practice and play.

    School directors will often prepare a list of recommended instruments. They do this to guide parents in the selection of a quality instrument.  We offer a full money back guarantee on any of our rental instruments:  If any school music teacher feels that the musical instrument you rented from Independence Music School does not perform in any category, simply have them write a short note with the problem they see, and if within the first 30 days of your rental, we will give you a full refund... no questions asked!  Keep in mind that the instrument you student uses to learn on, will likely not be last musical instrument that they own.  Often students will change from Alto Sax, to Tenor Sax, or to Oboe or Clarinet.  To buy each of these instruments would cost a small fortune.  A good rental instrument should last for years if properly maintained.  All of our RS Berkeley instruments are sent back to Berkeley for complete cleaning and checkup after every rental.  RS Berkeley is fast becoming one of the leading name in school band and orchestra instruments.  These are the same brand of instruments that I used when I started the instrument rental program at Brecksville School of Music before moving to Independence, Ohio.

    Whether it is a snare drum rental or flute rental, when you rent a band instrument or rent an orchestra instrument for the school year, you will find that nobody has a comparable quality instrument at a lower price. We rent the following: violin, cello, viola, clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, flute, trumpet, trombone, piccolo, oboe, snare drum, bell set.  Our violins come in sizes including 1/16 violin, 1/8 violin, 1/4 violin, 1/2 violin, 3/4 violin and full size violin.  We have 1/2 size and 3/4 size cello.  We have 13" viola, 14"viola, 15" viola and 16" viola.

    Independence School of Music will take in your good condition used musical instrument including your used violin, used trumpet, used trombone, used clarinet, used saxophone, used viola, used flute toward the purchase of a state of the art RS Bekeley new or like-new musical instrument.
