Instrument Rental Plan

Register online at www.grothmusic.com. Simply make an account, then click the area at the top of the screen that reads "rentals."

This will take you through the leasing process. You will need a Minnesota driver's license or state identification card as well as a credit card. Make sure to indicate your are signing up with “Hubbard Music Bootcamp”. This ensures we will have your instrument for you on day one of camp. Enter the first day of camp as your instrument deliver date.

Once you enter the required information, the order will begin to process and Groth Music will let you know if they have any questions.

Your down payment would be charged right away to hold the instrument, but your 4-month trial starts the first day of camp when you receive your instrument.

WANT TO BUY YOUR OWN INSTRUMENT?

That’s great! But I warn you, there are lots of fakes and duds out there.

⚠️PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS⚠️ A Note on "ISOs" (Instrument Shaped Objects)

You may see very colorful or extremely cheap instruments (under $200-400) online. These are known as ISOs (Instrument Shaped Objects).

While they look like flutes, saxophones, trumpets, etc. and they do work for a short period of time, they are often made of materials that cannot be adjusted or repaired by local shops, and will not last you long enough to create real music.

To avoid frustration, I strongly recommend sticking to the professional brands listed provided so your focus stays on making music, not fighting a broken tool. If it seems too good to be true, it is! Make sure you have the best experience by getting an instrument that is mechanically sound.

Yes. We start with the price of the instrument plus the sales tax to get the total purchase price of the instrument. The money you pay gets deducted from the unpaid balance each month until you own the instrument or return it.

Call Groth Music, or email your representative, and they will arrange for a loaner instrument for you to pick up or to delvier to your child's school and bring their instrument to our store for repair. If you have our Maintenance and Replacement Plan, the repair would be done at no charge to you. If you do not have our Maintenance and Replacement Plan you would need to pay for the repair. Either way, your Groth Music representative will then bring the repaired instrument back to your child's school, or they will notify you when can pick it up at the store.

Just give Groth a call at 952.884.4772 or email your representative, and let us know your child no longer needs the instrument. They will pick up the instrument at your child's school. Or you can return it to the storefront. Monthly payments will stop as soon as they have received the instrument in good condition and nothing further is due, as long as your account is in good standing.

Simply call Groth Music and let them know. They will apply up to 80% of what you have paid on the first instrument to the price of the second instrument. The instrument you are switching to must be of equal or greater value and must be for the same student that is listed on the contract. The switch can take place at any time that you are still making payments. Your teacher needs to approve your child changing instruments.

No. Groth Music does not charge any interest or finance charges. There are no hidden fees with the lease agreement.

Nope :)

We are bringing you the most reliable, top quality, ready to play instruments to ensure your/student’s success. No hassle, we take care of all of the essentials.

If you would like, you may provide your own extra reeds, oils, cleaning swabs, and music stand.

Groth Music is a Minnesota, family owned business in operation since 1939. They partner with local schools and offer weekly visits to your child's school. With an extensive printed music department, wide selection of instruments and accessories, in-store private lessons, as well as a full service repair department in store. Groth Music is your one stop shop for all things musical.

Groth Music offers only instruments approved by your music teacher, and at a discounted rate for accredited music educators. The prices you see online are drastically different for a reason - there is no guarantee with what you buy online. These instruments are often much lower quality, sound terrible, are impossible or very expensive to fix because they do not have standard parts, have immense shipping charges, are non-refundable, and simply do not last or hold up to he musical needs of the musician. Please ask questions with professionals, such as Caleb Hubbard or the representatives at Groth Music. We want the best for you and your musical journey.

Your entire rental is handled through Groth Music. But instead of you needing to go to them, we will help handle it the first day of camp. And instead of needing to spend countless hours finding out how to begin to assemble and play your instrument… Guessing… Hoping you’re doing it right. Music camp will go through every step to ensure you, and your new shiny instrument, have the best, safest, most musical experience possible to set you up for your lifetime of musicianship.

That is totally up to you! It can be a big decision. Do lots of research, click on each instrument in our list to read about their characteristics, listen to songs and videos online and determine your favorite sound. Size should be your last concern, people of all types play every instrument, and there’s no reason you shouldn’t try what you believe you will love! That’s the whole point!

We will have a trial night! The week before camp you can come play test every instrument (or at least their mouthpiece), to see if it’s a good fit for you, see details on the registration page!
