Trombones

Horner MS uses Allegro Music, Sweetwater Music, and C&L Music for all instrument rentals.

These organizations have a "pure" rental model AND a "rent-to-own" model. Pure rentals are month to month payments and the rent to own model means that a portion of your rental fee goes towards buying the instrument. If you choose the rent to own model, the amount that goes towards your first instrument can also be applied to a step-up or new instrument down the road as well.

Don't be shy, make sure to compare prices!

musicgoround.com or reverb.com are good sources for used instrument purchases. I like purchasing from this organization because each instrument is checked by a repair technician before being shipped out. Avoid Ebay and Craigslist.

A few things to keep in mind:

• instruments get jostled when shipped, instruments may need adjustments upon arrival

• these used instruments will not look brand new because they are not brand new

• if an instrument is marked "AS IS", then the instrument is meant to be used for parts and is most likely not playable, do NOT purchase

Some families prefer to purchase new for a variety of reasons. I've included links below so you will have the option to price compare from a variety of sources.

Trombone - Yamaha

Trombone - Bach

Trombone - Blessing 

This instrument is a Demo instrument, which means it was displayed in a music store and may have had some people try it out. This is a half cost, basically new instrument.

Allegro Music is a Yamaha Dealer, so you can call their number at: 510-793-3500 to inquire about the price.
