Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme

Something every parent should know...You don't HAVE to pay VAT on your child's musical instrument! By not paying the 17.5% VAT, you could be saving hundreds of ££'s.
Interested? Read on and find out how AIPS works.

The AIPS process is easy...

* First, check with your School / College that they operate the 'Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme'. Most do.
* Come into our shop and hand pick your own instrument. If you need help we are happy to make recommendations.
* Obtain the necessary form from your School / College. NOTE: we already the No. 1 choice for guitars for most Schools in the Bournemouth / Poole area but we can supply ANY participating school in ANY area.
* Complete your details on the form and the choice of musical instrument. There may be some schools that MAY make a small 'Administrative Charge' so please check. Rest assured - we don't charge a penny extra.
* After completing your details and instrument choice, you need to pass the form along with your payment to the School / College for them to complete their details and send the form to us as an official order.
* We process the order.
* We call you and you collect the instrument.
