  • Provided instrument loaners are limited and are provided on a first come, first served basis.
  • Applying for the instrument loaner program does not guarantee an instrument loaner.

  • The tuner & folding music stand will need to be purchased - please contact Kagan & Gaines to do so (these items are not included with the Instrument Loaner Program).
