If you need an instrument...
We recommend that you rent-to-own your instrument from District 47's preferred vendor, Quinlan & Fabish.
Call Q&F at (800) 637-6872 or visit qandf.com to place an order for an instrument rental and required supplies.
We coordinated a checklist of required band supplies to automatically appear in your "cart." They will go through that list with you to make sure you get a quality instrument and/or required band supplies.
Repairs and cleanings will come at an extra cost, unless you include maintenance insurance. We highly recommend getting this as part of your order. Accidents happen.
If you already own an instrument...
If you do not need an instrument rental, please use this link to order supplies from qandf.com or simply call Q&F at (800) 637-6872 to place an order.
