Instrument Rentals for Music Workshops

Centrum is pleased to announce that Port Townsend’s independent music store, Crossroads Music, is providing rental instruments for use at selected Centrum music workshops. Rentals are perfect for those who are traveling by plane and don’t wish to risk damaging their own instruments, or for those who just want to try something new. 

Rentals are handled entirely through Crossroads Music. Review their rental information sheet (300kb PDF) , and then contact them for complete information. Our friends at Crossroads can work miracles, but in order to guarantee an instrument, reservations should be made at least 3 weeks in advance of your workshop. You can reach them via telephone at 360-385-1471.
