Instrument Rental Information

It is strongly recommended to rent or purchase your instrument from a local music store. Local retailers provide quality instruments, proper setup, and ongoing maintenance support to ensure student success in orchestra. Some retailers that students have used in the past include Musical Innovations, Bernhardt House of Violins, and Pecknel Music.

Please be cautious when purchasing from online retailers like Amazon. These instruments are often low-quality, difficult to play, and go out of tune quickly, which can discourage students from continuing with music.

For families unable to secure an instrument from a local music store, MMS has a limited number of school-owned instruments available on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact the orchestra director as soon as possible if this option needs to be explored.
