Need Help With An Instrument?

You and your student are welcome to come to Mr. Rye's home in Edmond to try out the many different musical instruments that are available. Once your student chooses an instrument, you will be faced with several decisions: New? Used? Rent? Lease? Purchase?

After the student has decided on an instrument, we can be of assistance in finding the right instrument for your student at the right price. We recommend the purchase of a good used instrument instead of purchasing a new one and can usually obtain very good instruments at great prices.

Rent/Lease to Own:

We offer good quality used band instruments to our home school families with no service charges and no interest. Contact Mr. Rye for details.

If you find a good buy on a used instrument, or if you already have an instrument, I will be happy to check it out for you to make sure that it is usable.
