Yes! Every penny you pay goes toward owning your instrument. And with our early payoff option, you get an extra 10% discount on the remaining balance. It’s savings all around!

We offer four levels of instruments for rental, all of which rent at the same rate.  So whichever you choose, your monthly rental rate will be the same.  However, there will be fewer payments, over time, if you choose an instrument that has been previously played.

We generally offer four levels of instruments for our rental program, but is dependent on stock levels at the time.  

1-New instruments

These are new instruments that have never been rented to anyone but you.

2-Premium Used

These are instruments that generally look as good as new, but may not be perfect cosmetically.   They will have been rented for a very short period of time, then cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, so there will be no playability issues for the next player.

3-Used Instruments

These instruments will be instruments that have been rented for a longer period of time and may have some cosmetic imperfections, but will have been cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, and will have no playability issues.

4-Budget Used

These instruments will have been rented for an even longer period of time than the standard used and may show more cosmetic imperfections.  These also will have been cleaned and checked over by our repair staff, so you can be assured not to have playability issues.

No worries! If your child or student decides to switch instruments, all the payments from their current rental can be applied to their new instrument.

If you’re renting a stringed instrument and your child or student outgrows it, your payments transfer to the larger size. You don’t lose a dime.

Yes. We rent stringed instruments in fractional sizes for young players, and upsizing is built into the program. When your student grows into the next size, we swap the instrument and your accumulated payments carry over.

Yes. We deliver directly to many schools across Lincoln, Omaha, Bellevue, and the surrounding communities, including the Ralston area. Prefer to pick it up? Any of our five stores can have your rental ready. Ask your band director whether Dietze already delivers to your school.

Our rentals are month to month with no long-term contract. If your student decides band is not for them, return the instrument and you are done. If they switch instruments instead, your rental credits transfer to the new one.
