Students looking to rent an instrument may use one of the two retailers listed on this page. Each one of them is unique in their service, but they will all provide you with the same materials and instruments.
Each link will bring you straight to the page in which you can begin the online rental process. You can choose to have the instrument dropped off at school for the fall, or you may choose to have it shipped to you.
If there is any confusion about what you are renting, give the store a call or visit. If you tell them you are part of TJ and what instrument you are playing, they will get you everything you need.
Please contact Mr. Hackbarth with any questions or concerns regarding rentals at adam.hackbarth@pwssd.k12.wi.us
If you are looking to purchase an instrument outright, you may use the same retailers listed above, but I highly recommend you visit the store in person so that you may try them out.
If you are looking to purchase an instrument online, there are plenty of place available to do so such as eBay, reverb.com, and Facebook Marketplace.
Purchasing an instrument from a reputable manufacturer in good condition is extremely important for a student's success. I can easily tell you whether an instrument is a good purchase or not.
