Im a lifelong musician and now supporting my kids desire to pursue the clarinet! The guys at AAA Band Rentals were truly terrific. My little guy is only 10, and was shy and nervous going into the shop. Winter the store mascot was chillin, and made my sons visit something really memorable. We rented a brand new Yamaha clarinet, got a box of reeds and cleaning kit, music stand and book. The whole process was quick, easy and super fun for my son. I wouldnt go anywhere else. Their reputation precedes them, and for very good reason! This is a great place with great people!

This is such a terrific place. I recently attended a step-up event help here with my granddaughter who plays flute. They had more than 20 or so flutes on display! With company representatives on hand, we received terrific, honest advice and with no pressure. It was a great experience, and everyone at the event seemed to feel the same way. There were school teachers there from several towns who had met their students there at the store to help them choose the best instrument for them.
We bought a beautiful Yamaha flute at a prices that after searching the internet and making multiple calls to other stores, could not be touched! (Not even close!).
Overall, a very impress Place, staffed with great people who are calm, patient and knowledgeable! I highly recommend!!

I brought my flute in because it had been damaged in Hurricane Ida. The flute was about 50 years old and fairly tarnished. AAA Band Rentals, not only cleaned it up, redid all the pads and made it look like new. And all this for far less than I had expected. It sounds incredible and looks beautiful. If you have an instrument that needs repair, this is the place to come!

An awesome place for all-things musical. They're super friendly, obviously love what they do and it shows in the way they treat their customers. My son's cello rental is beautiful! They rented him a brand new Eastman cello, exactly the brand his teacher had suggested we get. My daughter's Yamaha clarinet rental is also brand new and in an awesome little case. Their online rental system was super easy to navigate.
They had everything ready for pickup upon my arrival. I received a text message within just a few minutes of submitting my order. All of the accessories the teacher requested were easily added to my online cart and were bagged and labeled with my kid's names on them, WOW! If you're online and trying to decide where to rent, (I shopped online too) I can honestly say that there are other companies offering cheaper introductory rates, but then they beat you up with a highly payment monthly. Josh even corrected my order based on where my kids go to school.
I picked the wrong book and he made sure I received the correct one! THANKS JOSH. Impressive! AAA Band and it's policies are totally transparent, the quality is terrific and they were terrific to deal with! I

Just want to give a quick shout out to everyone at AAA Band Rentals. Last year they had a quick turn around time on ordering a bass trombone for our son and Michael was so helpful in helping him decide what instrument he needed. Now our son is off at college, joined the band and needed his instrument right away. The instrument was evaluated, cleaned, lubricated and ready to go the same day! Entire case cleaned too!
We already brought it to our son and he is ready for practice this week. Did I mention AAA has bell covers for all instruments too? Thank you Michael Jr. and Michael Sr., Josh and Rick for all your help and always such a pleasure to work with and talk all things music related. Highly recommend. Thanks again! Lisa

Always great service @ AAA Band Rentals. An absolute pillar in the Fairfield County Music community for many decades. The technicians are personable, they listen, and have a strong attention to detail and great workmanship. I had several French horns I've sent in for dent repair, refurbishment, and ultrasonic cleaning and I have been very pleased with the results. So much that I play more often. Thank you AAA Band Rentals!

I'm so thankful I found this excellent band rental company to rent a clarinet. It was in August & with Covid being a whole new way of life, I figured it would be difficult to rent a used instrument, and. I was wrong- it was EFFORTLESS! I was greeted by Mike Jr (the CEO/Owner) and completed everything online including creating my online profile to be able to pay/update account info/etc. Mike was superb with assisting me.
He rented us a FRESHLY CLEANED/Sanitized clarinet, with a sticker of authenticity proving it had gone through the utmost sanitization in order to be rented out. The Norwalk office was nice & protected against Covid & the entire transaction was so effortless. I also purchased reeds while I was there. I'll continue to be a loyal customer for all of my instrument needs from now on. I'm so grateful to be able to support AAA Band Rentals & to spread the word for my friends & acquaintances to also venture over to AAA Band Rentals for their own band rental instruments, equipment & supplies. I highly recommend this shop.

We have been renting a cello from AAA Band Rental for my daughter for several years now. The quality of the instrument is excellent and any issue we have had has been dealt with in a very expeditious manner. The customer service team is very knowledgeable and professional. My son will be starting cello in the fall and we are looking forward to continuing to do business with this excellent company. I highly recommend using them for all of your music instrument rental needs.

Mike Spremulli Jr. and Sr are amazing and kind hearted people. Not only do they do amazing repair work and instrument orders, but personally invest their attention to making sure your program has everything it needs to be successful. AAA Band Rentals has donated their time and services to help repair and restore instruments that were donated to my high school with low income students, who couldn't afford to rent or buy an instrument otherwise. I truly recommend AAA Band Rentals for all your musical needs.

This is an amazing family owned business with a long history great customer service. I have 2 sons who have been renting string instruments from AAA for years. We could not be happier. I love their rent-to-own options. They offer damage assurance, which is a serious money saver. My 8 year-old son cracked the neck on a $1000 cello. We paid a small deductible thanks to the damage assurance AAA recommended. The website gives great info on care and maintenance. Any questions I email or leave on voicemail are always responded to quickly. I won't rent anywhere else.

AAA Band Rentals has been nothing but amazing! If you want a top notch music rental and instrument company with great customer service this is it. From renting my son's trumpet to fixing my own Bach silver plated trumpet Michael Spremulli and his team have awesome.
