Dear Rental Customers,

 

The school season will be over in just a few short weeks. I hope that you have all had a wonderful year of progress on your instruments. Many students and parents have expressed their delight in beginning to learn a stringed instrument. I encourage all of you to continue your development in this art.

Because many of our rental customers are students in public school orchestra programs, information follows concerning our policies for trading up, converting to purchase, or returning your instrument

If you plan to continue in the fall, you should keep your instrument over the summer. Summer is a wonderful time to attend orchestra camps, Suzuki institutes, and certainly to improve your skills with private instruction. The provisions for credit on our Rental Plan are included below to remind you of the value of continuing your rental contract over the summer if you plan to continue in the fall.

" RENTER will accrue a discount toward the purchase of this or another larger or more expensive instrument equal to the monthly rental fees (100% of rental fees), excluding Protection Plan and Sales Tax, paid on this agreement; provided the maximum credit allowed toward any instrument, case, and bow purchase may not exceed 80% of the purchase price of that instrument, case, and bow. Discount towards purchase must be applied within 10 days of termination of this contract. Discounts are not held for future application. RENTER must elect to purchase. Conversion of a current rental account to purchase is not automatic."

You can, of course, continue your rental as long as you wish. If you return your instrument and cancel your contract, you will forfeit your credit.

Your Purchase need not be paid in full at the time of conversion. If you have a favorable payment history with us, you may choose from several Purchase Plans, including 4 and 12 month plans that are interest free, or Revolving Charge Plans for approximately 20 to 40 months with interest rates beginning at 10.98%. Protection Plan is available for an annual fee with these plans. You are always welcome to use VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express for payment in full.

If you are uncertain about your plans, please consult with your teacher before canceling a contract. You risk losing a substantial purchase discount if you return and then change your mind.

If you do not plan to continue this fall, please make arrangements to return your instrument to either of our shop locations immediately following the conclusion of classes this spring. You will not be responsible for the June payment if your instrument is returned by June 10. If your instrument was delivered to your teacher you may return the instrument to your teacher following the procedures on the accompanying sheet.

Thanks for being wonderful customers this past year. Our best wishes for a productive summer.

Mark Lisle and the Staff of Lisle Violin Shop

Instructions for Returning Instruments to Schools

 

THESE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY APPLY TO CUSTOMERS WHO RECEIVED INSTRUMENTS BY DELIVERY TO SCHOOL AND WILL NOT CONTINUE THE PROGRAM AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE SCHOOL TERM. STUDENTS PLANNING TO CONTINUE IN THE FALL SHOULD KEEP THE INSTRUMENT OVER THE SUMMER.

1) Call 281-487-7303 or 800-545-4753 or email LisleViolinShop@aol.com for a return authorization at least ten days in advance of the pickup date so that we can remind your teacher that your instrument is to be picked up. Plan your return so that your instrument can be picked up during the last week of school. Teachers may not be available for instrument pickups after school is dismissed.

2) Please label your case with your name, school, parent’s name, phone, date and account number.You may use the reverse side of this instruction Sheet. Please insert this paper with "RETURN TO LISLE VIOLIN SHOP" and your information visible.

3) Give your instrument to your teacher directly with instructions to return to Lisle Violin Shop. Do not leave at the school office or abandon in the classroom.

4) Remove all personal and accessory items from your case. Return only the instrument, case, and bow. Other items, such as music stands, shoulder rests, metronomes, polish, etc. were purchased by you and not included in your contract. Rosin was free. You do not need to clean your instrument. All returned instruments will be thoroughly reconditioned in our workshop. We cannot accept for return instruments, bows, or cases that have been abused or in otherwise unsaleable condition.<

5) Upon pickup, your account will be credited for the return and if your account is current, your balance will be cancelled and the account closed. If a balance remains due, it will be immediately payable.<

6) If you do not follow these instructions, you may not receive proper and timely credit for your return. We wish to make the return procedure as easy as possible for the string teachers during a very busy time of the year.
REMEMBER:
* Call for return authorization.
* Return only instrument, bow, and case. Remove personal items.
* Place your instrument, marked with "Return to Lisle Violin Shop" in your teacher's hand. Do not leave your instrument in the school office or classroom.
