For Band instrument RENTALS:

Locally, there are 2 places to rent an instrument.  These are all reputable dealers.  Please contact me with any questions:
1. My recommendation is White's Music, which has been around Visalia for a long time.  They rent and sell instruments in the traditional way, and also repair them.  635-0156 (100 E. Caldwell, Visalia)
2.
 Secondly, Guitar Center now rents (Music & Arts Center).  They are a nationwide company working in Visalia through Guitar Center.  You can order online and pick up in the store, or go in directly.  They do not repair at the store.  http://www.musicarts.com/  (in the South Lowes shopping center, south Mooney, Visalia)
