Instrument Hire for Adults / Organisations
PLEASE NOTE - Leicestershire Music are currently unable to support any requests for instrument hire from schools, partners, local groups or bands unless the instruments are to be used as part of an LM delivered project. This is a temporary restriction. Please bear with us and we will resume hire requests as soon as we are able. (Please note, this does not affect instrument hire to support delivery of LM delivered lessons in schools).
If you are thinking about buying an instrument, why not look at our Help with Costs page which contains information which could help you spread interest free payments or potentially avoid paying VAT, depending on your circumstances.
This can be found at the bottom of the drop down menu under 'Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme (AIPS)' and 'Take it Away Purchase Scheme'.
