The Minor Chord has been serving Acton and the surrounding communities with rental instruments for the past 18 years. We offer a convenient local alternative for renting school band and orchestra instruments. Our band and orchestra instruments are guaranteed to meet the requirements of local school music departments. In most cases, the instrument you rent is brand new or in near new condition. We provide service too, so if your child's instrument needs service on an instrument you rent from us, it can be performed quickly and close to home. For all instruments we rent, your rental fees will apply toward purchase, should you choose to purchase it later.
