School lease plan for small-size string instruments Violin, Viola, Cello, String Bass

Why lease a small instrument?
When your child begins music lessons in the early grades, it is important that he or she have the right size instrument to start on. Most children this age are just too small physically to handle a full size violin, viola, cello or string bass. These instruments are made in many different sizes to fill this need.

As your child grows, the small size instrument will be outgrown, just as clothes are outgrown. You will find it expensive if you buy another instrument each time the student needs a larger size. And not many parents will want to spend the money to buy an instrument the child will soon outgrow.

Each instrument is equipped with strings, case, bow, fine tuners and rosin. Bow reharing and purchase of supplies such as extra string and music books are the customer’s responsibility and are not included in the lease.

Average Monthly Lease Prices (Plus sales tax)
Violin	15.00 to 25.00
Viola	15.00 to 25.00
Cello	35.00 to 75.00
String Bass	Prices on request

No money is refunded if the child drops out of the music program. Most children who quit do so within the first few months, before many payments have been made. Chances are, it will cost you minimal amount to try the string program. If the student continues with music, it may well be one of the best investments you can make for your child’s future.

How the string lease program works?

You may lease any small-size string instrument for a low monthly lease fee. You accumulate purchase credits as you make the monthly lease payments. These credits will apply to the purchase of a full size instrument from Kephart’s when your child is ready for this. You may lease larger instruments as your child grows, and purchase credits will accumulate. You may then apply the total toward buying the full size instrument.

There is no finance charge on the lease payments.

Leased instrument are fully insured by Kephart’s at no extra charge.

All necessary repairs are done free by Kephart’s

If the child quits, you may return the instrument. This cancels the agreement, and you stop making payments. You are not obligated any further, provided your payments are current at return.
