Instruments owned by Guildford Grammar School will be regularly serviced to ensure that they
continue to perform to their very best for the duration of the hire. The School of Music will cover
the cost of repair that is due to standard wear and tear, but will not cover damage that is deemed
deliberate or negligent.
Hire of instruments is generally for a two year period, after which students are expected to
purchase own [with exceptions].
Guidelines for the basic care and maintenance of your instrument can be found in the “Music
Instrument Cleaning Guide” on the Portal.
Recall of Hired Instruments
During Term 4 there is a complete recall of hired instruments to ensure they are maintained and
in good working order. Instruments will be rehired over the summer holiday period as part of the
next year’s hire fee.
