Musical Instrument Loan

The Equipment Loan Program is expanding and will now include musical instruments! This will reduce the barriers associated to learning new instruments and improve access to musical instruments. In turn, this will support and encourage the music our community is known for.

Instruments will be available to borrow starting on November 1, 2024. 

Click here to verify if an instrument is available to borrow. You can also call 902-778-2390 to check availability.

To submit a request to borrow an instrument click here. You can only borrow one instrument at a time.

Instruments can be borrowed for up to thirty days with up to two renewals as long as there is no waiting list for that instrument. There is no fee to borrow an instrument but a $3 per day late fee will be charged for late returns.

You are responsible for the safety and condition of the instrument while you borrow it. This means you need keep the instrument clean (as per the care guide found inside the instrument case) and you cannot alter the instrument in any way (such as by adding stickers or writing).

You will be asked to sign a Musical Instrument Lending Agreement when you pick up the instrument. For children under 18, a parent or guardian must sign the agreement.
