Starting out in the world of music can be hard, and expensive. Through Umbrella you can start out by hiring an instrument from us for a small monthly fee. The minimum rental period is 1 month and you can rent for as long as you like.
Once you have decided that the instrument you are playing is the right one for you then if you decide to purchase we will automatically give you a 5% discount from our usual online prices on the instrument you have been renting. This will be a brand new instrument of your choice. Our couriers will arrive the next day with your new instrument and take away the old one.
