A bit about Hornhire’s Owner Tim
Tim from HornHire loves his music and has been involved in the music industry in one form or another all his life.
Tim established HornHire, partly because of his love of wind instruments, but mainly because he wanted to give everyone the opportunity to learn a musical instrument without having to purchase one outright.
He understands such an outlay can be difficult to finance, especially if it is for a child or student who is still deciding which instrument they would like to pursue.
Hiring an instrument gives the student the chance to really see if this is something they really want to do before making a commitment to buy.
Tim also has many years of experience repairing and servicing instruments,
so you can rest assured that each instrument is in perfect working order and tested to the highest of standards before being delivered to you.
