Guidelines for Equipment Return

The due date for the Fall Semester is Friday, December 11th at 3:00pm.

 

  • The Instrument Rental Office is open from 9:00am to 4:00pm Monday through Friday.  Please plan to drop off your borrowed item during these hours.  Plan ahead.
  • Please bring all items to MA410 and not to another office.
  • Please do not leave the items outside MA410 if the office is closed.
  • Only the borrower should be returning the borrowed item.  Please do not ask someone else to turn the instrument in for you.  Plan ahead.
  • The borrowed item is still in your care until you leave it with one of the Instrument Rental Office staff members
  • Tubas and string basses may be left in the locker with the lock engaged, but the borrower must still come to the Instrument Rental Office (MA410) to “return” or renew the instrument.
  • Borrowed string bass and tuba lockers and trunks must be renewed or relinquished.  Please return the lock if you no longer need the locker or trunk.
  • All other instruments should be brought to the Instrument Rental Office along with the lock for the locker.
  • Make sure you remove all of your personal items from the case and locker before returning the instrument.
  • Please clean and wipe the instrument (mouthpiece!) down before returning it.  Rags and cleaning needs are available in MA410.  You may be asked to clean the instrument in MA410 if the instrument is extremely dirty.
  • If there are any repairs that need to be done on the instrument (even if they are not absolutely necessary but would make the instrument play better) please mention this when turning it in or leave a note with the instrument.
  • If you finish with the instrument before the due date please feel free to bring it in early.  This will make the load lighter during the last week of classes.
  • Failure to comply with above guidelines will result in fines.
  • If you have any questions regarding any of this information please contact us at (812) 855-8720 or inrental @ indiana.edu.
