Compare leasing with rent-to-own using the chart below.

Consider the monthly fees. Most of our competitors will rent you a new name-brand trumpet, like the one in our chart, on a "rent-to-own" or “trial purchase” plan at a rate of about $30/month. However, they will tack on monthly fees that may be called interest, service fees, and/or maintenance charges. By the time you own the instrument, you will have paid over $1200. With a Cadenza Lease you can get the same instrument for $221 per year, including tax and insurance.

What if my child quits? The monthly rental fees will quickly exceed the yearly lease fee at Cadenza. You and your child’s teacher both want your child to stick with the program.

What if my child succeeds? If your child continues with school music though the whole three years, that rental trumpet will have cost you $1,233. That same amount would pay for almost six years of lease fees which includes free maintenance. You’ll save money with a Cadenza lease!
