Welcome to Uk Sax Hire!

If you have always wanted to learn a musical instrument but would like to try one before buying one, you have come to the right place! 

Please call Richard on 07484 885619 any time from 9am - 8pm, 7 days a week or email:  uksaxhire@gmail.com

Hiring an instrument is the easiest and cheapest way of exploring your or your child's musical talent without the expense of an outright purchase.  With a minimum hire term of just 3 months, why not give it a go?

We have been providing instruments for hire and for sale since 1997.  Originally supplying just saxophones, we have expanded due to popular demand to include all woodwind instruments as well as a large range of brass instruments.

Music is our passion and we aim to encourage as many people as possible to get involved and learn to play a musical instrument. We are happy to offer advice and help to musicians of all ages and abilities to help you choose the best instrument for you.

Whether you are a complete beginner or have some previous experience and may be looking to upgrade your instrument, we can help.

  • Flexible rental periods from 3 months.

  • One hour lesson explaining how to assemble, look after the instrument and help blowing your first few notes.  Further tuition is also available for all ages and abilities from beginner to advanced. This will be customised to your requirements and is  available from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
  • Delivery available via DPD couriers for £15 for alto saxophones and mostsmaller instruments and £19 for tenor saxes.
  • We are the only firm in the UK offering rental options on pro-level instruments including Yamaha, Selmer Paris,  Yanagisawa, Trevor James, Buffet and Besson etc.

We offer 2 options for every instrument that we stock.  

1. Rental - for a minimum of 3 months with the option to buy;

2.  Outright purchase with the option to sell the instrument back to us.

Saxophone and clarinet lessons for all abilities are also available at our studio in Berkshire.
