The 5 Benefits of Instrument Ownership


1. No more rental bills! 
How about applying your rental equity towards an instrument purchase?  For the first year that you rent, 100% of the rental fees accrue as equity, for the 2nd year it’s 60%, and every year after is 20%.  After a few years, it might make sense to buy rather than continuing renting, especially if the player is looking for a more advanced sound.  Get your equity calculated now to find out how much money you have accrued from renting with us!
 
2. Better sounding instruments
As musicians grow - both in size and skill - they require the right tools that will help them make progress.  An upgrade in instrument or bow can be a great asset to a musician, as well as an encouragement to keep advancing.  Better instruments are richer and more vibrant, and provide the musician with a more refined and greater color palette of sound.
 
3. Pride of ownership
With knowledge of owning an instrument comes the feeling of responsibility and attachment to it.  This leads to that very special connection a musician feels to their instrument.  Together they become a team creating beautiful and innovative music.

 
4. Guaranteed trade back 
Good quality Instruments and bows do not depreciate with time, and as such, are some of the best investments that can be made!  Any instrument purchased from Stamell Strings is guaranteed to be taken back in trade towards a larger size or a higher quality instrument for 100% of purchase price less a reconditioning fee, depending on condition.
 
 5. Choice of instrument
As every player is unique, they need an instrument that will match their personality and style of playing.  When purchasing an instrument, the musician has the first-hand opportunity to select the one that suits him or her best.
