Ordering

To order, please fill out and submit the form below. Be sure your email address is correct. We will email you a rental agreement to sign. The rental fee plus shipping charges are due in advance. You may pay by check (U.S. funds), credit card, or bank wire; we will arrange for that when we send the rental agreement (do not provide your credit card information now).

You are responsible for shipping charges to and from California. One-way shipping charges are typically $12 to $25 in the United States, $25 to $50 to Canada, and $45 to $80 to Europe, depending on the opera; we do not charge any handling fees. We normally use USPS Priority Mail (air mail), which is inexpensive and quick. Please let us know if you would like the materials shipped another way.

The normal rental period is from six weeks prior to your opening performance to two weeks after your last performance. There is a fee for items returned late. If you require extra time prior to opening, let us know—we can probably accomodate you.

Please order as far in advance as possible so we can be sure to have materials on hand. You need not pay the rental fee until close to the shipping date.

We supply the orchestra parts and a conductor's score, but no voice, chorus, or continuo parts. Be sure to specify the number of string parts you need. The standard quantities are 4 Violin I, 4 Violin II, 3 Viola, 2 Cello, and 2 Bass. Additional string parts are $15 each. If you require fewer than standard, it may reduce your shipping charges.
