Dori’s Music Studio is a rental location for Music & Arts Center, a long established, nation wide supplier of musical instruments. We have a dedicated Music & Arts Center representative, which insures the best possible service for our customers.
Renting an instrument
What does the rental cost? Music & Arts offer a 5 or 10 month contract. Once the 5 or 10 month period is over, a monthly renew fee will be billed. Each type of instrument has a different rental fee but rentals start at $100 for the first 5 months and at $200 for the first 10 months.
How long do I have to rent the instrument before I have the option to buy? The customer can purchase the instrument at any time. If the instrument is purchased in the first 18 months of renting, the customer will receive 30% off of the early pay off price for the instrument If the instrument is purchased after the 18 months, the customer receives 10% off of the early pay off price.
Please call to see what we have in stock and make an appointment to purchase your instrument. During rental season (start of the school year), the stock changes daily and we may have a cheaper instrument than what is available online.
What is Liability and Damage Waiver (LDW)?
- Without LDW, you are financially responsible for the loss, theft, damage or destruction of the instrument.
- Periodic repairs and adjustments are required on most instuments.
- The cost of a repair can often exceed the cost of 1 year of LDW.
- You may cancel the LDW at any time.
- Homeowner’s insurance does not normally cover the instrument.

We offer the option to do your rental contract on-line. You can start the on-line rental process here and pick up the instrument from our studio in Spencerport. Dori’s also carries instrument supplies, reeds, lesson books, name tags for cases, and stands. We recommend purchasing these items from the studio as Music and Arts has to ship them to us and this can take longer than the instruments take to arrive. The studio accepts cash or credit card for purchases made in the store.
