Preferred Vendors
In search of a good, reliable, and affordable company from which to rent your band instrument? Look no further!
Participating in the band is an investment -- both of your time and money -- so it's smart to make an informed decision! Here at Moraine, we recommend that students rent through either Volkwein's Music (based out of Pittsburgh, PA) or Murphy's Music (based out of Leechburg, PA). Both companies offer instrumental rentals and repair services at an affordable price and are in close contact with Mrs. Donatelli to make sure you're getting everything you need for your beginning band student. As an added bonus, both Volkwein's and Murphy's will deliver your students' materials directly to Moraine Elementary, eliminating the need to visit the store in person!
Please peruse both vendors' websites and read up on their rental information, policies, and pricing to find the best rental fit for you!
