Brass Instrument Rentals

Brass instruments are classified by the way they produce sound—through the vibration of the player’s lips. While the valves and slides are used to change the instrument’s overall length and, therefore, its pitch, fine adjustment of harmonics comes from the player’s control of airflow and lip shape, known as the embouchure. Brasswinds include the trumpet, cornet, french horn, trombone, euphonium and more. Learn more about Brass instruments available to rent from Music & Arts!

Orchestral String Instrument Rentals

String instruments are played by plucking, striking or bowing taut strings. The string instruments in an orchestra include the violin, viola, cello and double bass. All are generally played with a bow, although they may also be plucked with one’s finger to create a short, plunky sound.

Percussion Rentals

Played by striking, scraping or rubbing with a stick, mallet or the player’s hands, percussion instruments have developed over thousands of years, evolving from the most rudimentary forms into complex, specialized musical tools.
