Xylophone Kit Rental FAQ
What Does a Xylophone Kit Rental Involve?
Renting a xylophone kit is an excellent option for students and beginners. It provides access to a keyboard/mallet instrument without a significant upfront investment. Our rental program includes maintenance and repair services, ensuring the instruments remain in good condition. This allows new musicians to explore their interest in percussion without the financial commitment of purchasing.
How much does a Xylophone Kit Cost?
The cost of a student xylophone kit varies depending on the brand and the quality of the components included. More and more instrument-shaped objects (called ISOs) are being sold online for unrealistically low prices. While the price might seem attractive, they won't play in tune, can't be repaired, and, most importantly, they discourage beginners from practicing hard and don't understand why they aren't improving. Because of this, the dropout rate of students with ISOs is extremely high. Reputable beginner xylophone kits generally range from $700 to $1,500.
Is the Xylophone Hard to Learn?
Several instruments share similarities with the xylophone in construction and playing technique. The marimba is a close relative, featuring wooden bars and a more resonant, deeper sound. The vibraphone, with metal bars and motor-driven resonators, produces a unique vibrato effect. The glockenspiel, another similar instrument, has metal bars and a bright, bell-like tone. Like the xylophone, these instruments are all part of the percussion family and are played by striking the bars with mallets.

What is a Rent-to-Own Xylophone Kit?
The rent-to-own option for xylophones kit combines the benefits of rental with the eventual ownership of the instrument. This arrangement allows musicians to make monthly payments towards purchasing the xylophone, spreading the cost over time. Rent-to-own plans are ideal for those who anticipate long-term use but prefer not to make an upfront investment. Our program also includes maintenance and support, ensuring the xylophone kit remains in excellent condition throughout the rental period. By the end of the contract, the musician owns the instrument outright, making it a practical and affordable way to acquire a xylophone kit.
