We rented an alto sax and the nicest guy ever explained what my son would need. When you rent an instrument for the school year, you pay in full up front. The guy made it clear that you won't pay a penalty if it's past the May deadline because schools have end of the year concerts etc. Near the end of the year we got a card in the mail telling us if we paid for next years rental we could keep the instrument over the summer for free. We did that. Also, a rental includes a yearly "tune up". While the sax was in the shop, our son announced he needed it TODAY for school. Of course. I called the store and talked to the woman who was repairing it. "Oh I'm working on it now, I could have it for you in 20 mins." Perfect

Well, I don't really care if it's your policy or not, that's what happened. So, to get my guitar back, I need to pay them AGAIN, SIX MONTHS AFTER THE FACT. This is nothing but fraud. They excuse it saying they don't have a full-time tech. That's fine, but if you don't have adequate staff, DON'T TAKE NEW BUSINESS. I need my guitar fixed, and I need it done for free.
