MONTH-TO-MONTH RENTALS

There is a three month minimum rental period. Initial payment of one month's rent must be paid at the beginning of the rental. Subsequent monthly payments will be charged to a credit card on the contract date. If an instrument is returned prior to the minimum period, a charge will be made to fulfill the minimum period. A partial month will be charged as a full month without proration.

Purchase Discount. There is no option to purchase the rented instrument. However, up to 20% additional discount may be earned off the already discounted cash price of a new instrument of the same type from Forrests. The discount increases by 2% for every month's rental paid, up to a maximum of 20%. No rental credit is allowed for double reed rentals.

Lease and Rental Accounts. Credit must be established for every rent/lease account, even though a customer may have rented from Forrests previously. A credit report will be obtained for all rent/lease customers. Customer must complete a Renter's Questionnaire and provide the following documents: California Driver's License with photo (or DMV-ID) showing current address, and a credit card in the same name (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card). A photo copy will be made of your driver's license.

Maintenance. Normal maintenance is included in the rent or lease price. Loaner instruments are not available. Rental charges continue while the instrument is in the shop.

School Year Lease

SCHOOL YEAR LEASE PLAN

Pay for the school year up front to earn a considerable discount. Start leasing a Yamaha® wind instrument between August 16th and September 15 to save 35% of a school year's rental cost!

Lease rate is lease length times rent rate. Lease length will vary from 4 to 8.5 months, depending on start date.

The full lease amount plus tax must be paid at the beginning of the lease. While leasing offers substantial savings, there is no refund for early return for any reason once the instrument has been taken from our store.

Liberal Purchase Option. The lease payment and "Summer Special" are applicable towards purchase. At the end of the lease, the instrument must be returned in good condition or purchased and paid for in full.

Lease and Rental Accounts. Credit must be established for every rent/lease account, even though a customer may have rented from Forrests previously. A credit report will be obtained for all rent/lease customers. Customer must complete a Renter's Questionnaire and provide the following documents: California Driver's License with photo (or DMV-ID) showing current address, and a credit card in the same name (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card).
