We want our customers to feel confident about their purchases and therefore offer an instrument hire scheme with the option to purchase the instrument for the full price less the rental amount already paid. This is an extremely popular scheme with new learners and those who are undecided to which level of instrument to go for. The Forsyth hire scheme is only available for school pupils. The Forsyth Buy Back Scheme is an alternative way for people to try an instrument with the option of returning it within the first 6 months.
How long is the hire period for?
The hire period is for three months, which is roughly a school term.
What happens at the end of the hire period?
At the end of the rental period you have the option to purchase the instrument for the current price less the amount paid in rental, or you can simply return the instrument to us.

How do I arrange an instrument hire?
The parent / guardian of the student wanting to hire an instrument must complete a Forsyth Hire Form. You can either request the form from us and complete it in advance or in the shop on the day you hire. Present the form to the instrument department on the 2nd floor with suitable proof of identity and address (driving licence and utility bill etc.) for the applicant’s parent or guardian before we take the hire amount and release the instrument.
