We're not currently providing instrument loans or able to support the Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme

However, there are both local and national instrumental providers who can help. Speak to your music teacher first to discuss the best instrument.

 

All instruments

  • Normans is a national company offering all instrument purchases, finance options and a rental service.
  • Dawsons also offer all instruments for purchase or via finance options. They don't offer a rental scheme.
