Upgrade Instruments

One of the great things about renting from KBB Music is that you can apply your rental entitlement towards purchasing either the instrument you have been renting, or an upgrade instrument.

There are many benefits to the player with an instrument that suits their playing level. While KBB Music only rents out modern, quality instruments, they are generally student level instruments.

If you have been playing for a year or two and are committed to playing the instrument for years to come, then it is time to think about upgrading your instrument.

An upgrade instrument:
* Has better tone
* Has better tuning
* Has better response
* Has better build quality, and if looked after well, will stay with you for years to come
* Will suit your playing level better, and let you progress faster

For a start, have a look at our list of suggested upgrade instruments below.
KBB Music has New Zealand's largest range of brass and woodwind instruments, so if you don't see what you want, give one of our friendly Instrument Specialists a call on 0800 775 226 or email hires@kbbmusic.co.nz Together, we can find the right instrument for you.
