Renting an Instrument from RDG Woodwinds

RDG Woodwinds is proud to offer a variety of high quality oboes, English horns, and clarinets for rent.  Our fleet includes reputable brands and models that professional players, teachers, and aspiring artists know and trust. 

For flexibility, rentals are booked on a monthly or weekly recurring basis. Rent an instrument for as long or as little as you'd like and return it at any time. We don't prorate for early returns, but a return grace period is included.

We ship rentals to almost any location in the USA, and in-store pickup is also available.
