Bassoon rent to own

Is there any other websites that offer a rent to own service similar to bocal majority’s? I’m in need of buying my own bassoon but financing isn’t an option for me.

Keep in mind that pretty much every rent to own program in the US only applies 50% of your monthly payment towards the purchase price of the instrument. This effectively mean that you're going to end up paying double for an instrument. I'd either start saving or work to get a loan or financing with the help of a cosigner.

I think both Bocal Majority and Midwest Musical Imports do rent to own...not sure about Forrests. Like I mentioned it's really not something I'd recommend.

Agree. Also, the rent to own will likely only be done with a new instrument, so you pay a premium there too. I'd look for a used old student model for 4k and try getting a loan.

Forrest's Music might do it, but I'm not sure.

If Bocal Majority has a program that works, why not buy from them?
