My clarinet arrived, as ordered, in beautiful condition, in its case. Very early days but so far, I’m loving it! As an older, absolute beginner, with lots of enthusiasm, I didn’t want to spend a lot buying one, just in case. Equally, I didn’t want to to purchase a cheap one, that would sound awful and I wouldn’t want to play it. Musical Instrument Hire Co is the perfect solution. Quick efficient with the exact product that I wanted. If you are considering hiring, go ahead and do it, very reasonable prices too. Delighted with my experience.
