Who can lease instruments?
This plan is designed to meet the current needs of schools and can be offered only to individual schools or school systems, whether they are public, private or parochial.

What can be put on a lease?
Any brand of instrument may be combined with equipment such as cases, risers, etc.
When do the instruments become the school's property?

Who covers the insurance on the instruments?
The school as lessee is required to have insurance for any theft, mysterious disappearance, or damage to any or all items/equipment covered by the lease. Any such loss does not relieve the school of any of the terms or conditions of the contract. Maintenance, including that required during the life of the lease due to normal wear and tear, is the responsibility of the school. Optional insurance is available through BGE Alliance Group L.L.C. with a $0 deductible and 100% coverage.
Is the lease renewable?
