Artley's Rental & Purchase Program -
3 Ways to Play

Artley's provides parents of beginning orchestra students an opportunity to purchase, rent-to-own, or simply rent an instrument to use while enrolled in their local string orchestra program.

Purchases

A purchase immediately paid in full by credit card, check, or cash is the most economical way to acquire a student-quality instrument.  You receive the following:

• Always at least 20% off the list price of an instrument
• Artley’s 50% trade-up allowance* on future instrument purchases
• Optional Replacement & Comprehensive (ORC) insurance** available.

Rent-to-own Program

A student-quality instrument may be purchased over a period of time. Pay only 10% down with the option of paying the balance in 12 or 24 monthly payments – your choice! Subsequent payments are due on the first day of each month.

• No interest or finance charges ever!! - late payment charges will apply
• Artley’s 50% trade-up allowance* on future instrument purchases
• Optional Replacement & Comprehensive (ORC) insurance** available
• You may use an instrument on a continuing basis until the purchase price is paid in full or until it is returned.  The instrument may be returned to Artley’s at any time with no further obligation or any penalty, provided all payments are current. All prior payments are considered as instrument rental and remain with Artley, Inc.

Instrument Rentals

A student-quality instrument may be rented on a monthly basis for as long as it is needed. 
Prices below include all taxes & insurance.

• Violin  ------- $20 per month
• Viola  -------  $25 per month
• Cello --------  $45 per month

We are now offering even more savings for those who take advantage of our optional 6-month or 12-month "up front" payment plans. You can rent a violin for as low as $12.50 a month! Contact us for details.

If you decide to purchase instead of rent, Artley Violins will allow the first full year of rental payments to be applied toward the price of your instrument, less any taxes or ORC coverage.
