Band & Orchestra Rentals

Getting started in band or orchestra should be exciting — not stressful. At Sims Music, we make renting a school band or orchestra instrument simple, affordable, and convenient for families across South Carolina and beyond. Whether your student is starting beginner band, moving into intermediate ensembles, or joining orchestra for the first time, our team is here to help every step of the way.

As a family-owned music store serving musicians since 1979, we work closely with local band directors and orchestra teachers to provide educator-approved instruments that students can rely on throughout the school year. From clarinets and flutes to violins, trumpets, trombones, and more, we offer quality rental instruments designed for student success.

Our Band & Orchestra Rental Program is powered through our partnership with RentFromHome.com, making it easy to reserve your instrument online from the comfort of your home. You can choose in-store pickup at Sims Music or have your rental shipped directly to your door.

Maintenance & Protection Included

One of the biggest advantages of renting through Sims Music is peace of mind. Our rental program includes maintenance coverage to help keep your instrument in playing condition throughout the school year. Many rentals also include protection coverage for accidental damage, helping families avoid unexpected repair costs.

Our experienced repair department is here to support students when service is needed, helping keep them in class and performing with confidence.

Flexible Rent-to-Own Program

Our program is designed to give families flexibility. Monthly rental payments build equity toward ownership, allowing students to continue with the same instrument they’ve grown comfortable playing. This makes it easier for families who may eventually want to own their instrument without making a large upfront investment.

First Month Free Offer

Purchase qualifying accessories like a care kit or music stand along with your rental, and receive your first month free on your instrument rental. It’s an easy way to make sure your student has everything they need for a successful start.
