What’s in the Case?

Brighton Music Center Rental Instrument Guide

When your child first brings home their instrument, it’s exciting, but also a little overwhelming. Every case has multiple parts, and it’s important to know what comes with the rental, what needs to be returned, and what’s okay to replace as you go.

Below is a quick breakdown by instrument. Items marked with a * must be returned with the rental at the end. Other items are consumables – meaning they’re used up and replaced over time (like reeds, oils, or rosin).

All instruments include a hard-shell case and a name tag, and all mouthpieces are sanitized before being rented out. We got you!
