If you already have an instrument you are planning to use (one that has been in your family, for example) you may want to have it looked over by a music store repair technician to make sure it is in playing condition. The pads on flutes, clarinets, and saxophones can dry out over time and may need to be replaced. Brass instruments that have not been used in a long time may need to be flushed out to ensure cleanliness.

There are several fine music stores in the area from which you may rent or purchase an instrument. For your convenience, we have listed three of them below with their addresses and phone numbers. These stores have provided Holman band families with quality equipment and service for many years. Each offers their own rental and service plans. We recommend contacting all stores and choosing the plan that works the best for you. There are many different plans available at each store. You can rent by the month or year and you can choose between used and new instruments. Please contact us if there is a problem renting an instrument. There is a limited number of Holman baritones, trombones, French horns, and bass clarinets available if assistance is needed.
