Renting through Robert M. Sides:

The Music Store (though Robert M. Sides) has a rent-to-own program that is very popular. You can rent online at Robert M. Sides' website (your instrument will be delivered to the school). Check with Mr. Luthart if you aren't sure what instrument size to order. Going through RM Sides (versus the school) is HIGHLY recommended! The instruments are EXCELLENT, the repairs are free (as long as you have rental insurance), and the money you put into renting goes directly into owning the instrument someday. When you are ready to buy, they have an Early Pay-Off Discount, where you can get a discount off of the outstanding balance.

Renting through Wellsville Schools:

The school also provides a limited number of instruments for students to borrow for $50 for the school year (please make a check out to Wellsville CSD). This helps to cover yearly instrument maintenance and repairs. Students who use a school-owned instrument will be required to complete a usage form (rental contract). This document must be signed by a parent or guardian and will indicate the current condition of the instrument and serial number. The instrument must be returned at the end of the school year, unless the student is involved in summer lessons and/or has permission from their director to use the instrument over the summer. If $50 upfront is a hardship for your family, please reach out and we can find a solution that works for you. 

Note: Students who are in the high school orchestra are exempt from the $50 rental fee.
