Rental Fees

The rental fee is $120.00 per month for the complete set of instrumental books, plus shipping and handling fees. There is a $200.00 refundable deposit required.

We currently have three orchestrations available: "The Pirates of Penzance," "H.M.S. Pinafore," and "The Gondoliers." The required number of musicians is highly flexible.

Flexible Instrumentation

"The Pirates of Penzance"

Orchestrated for a maximum of 14 musicians, but can be reduced further:

• Bassoon

• Horn in F

This orchestration can be further reduced by adding a pianist to the "Pirates of Penzance" orchestra.  (We recommend using the G. Schirmer piano book since it is 100% compatible with this arrangement. Piano book not included.)
