Ordering
Our reductions are available for rent only. We don't sell parts or
scores.
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.
Rental fees plus one-way shipping charges are due in
advance.
You may pay by check (U.S. funds), credit card, or bank wire; we will arrange
for payment 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
economical and quick. Please let us know if you would like the materials
shipped another way. You must arrange for return shipping when the time
comes.
California customers pay applicable sales tax.
Prices listed are for a rental period of up to three months, including
shipping time. Let us know if you need the
materials longer than this; each extra month month is an additional 25%.
There is a fee for items returned late.
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.
Extra copies of the score are available for an additional
$50 (indicate in the additional instructions below).
