It renews each month on the day of your first payment (the last day of the month when that day does not exist). 17 days before each renewal, we email you a reminder.

Questions
What does it cost, and how do I pay?
¥35,000 a month, tax included. It is the same amount every month and renews automatically each month on the day of your first payment (the last day of the month when that day does not exist). The confirmation email gives the exact next renewal date.
A ¥88,000 deposit is taken once, with the first payment (it is held, not a price, so there is no consumption tax). The first payment is ¥123,000: the first month and the deposit.
Shipping is not included. Delivery and return shipping are yours.
By credit card through Stripe only. The first payment when you apply; from the second month, charged automatically to the same card on each renewal date.
Ending part-way through a month is not refunded pro rata. If a card payment fails, we email you a link to pay on Stripe's page.
How do I cancel?
Email hello@handpanstudiotokyo.jp (or reply to any of our emails) at least 14 days before the next renewal date. The rental then ends on that renewal date and nothing more is charged.
Later notice means the next renewal is charged and the rental ends at the end of that month.
Once the last day is set, we email you the return address and the return steps.
How long does delivery take, and what does shipping cost?
Within one week of payment, by a carrier, to your address in Japan. You pay the shipping to the carrier on delivery (cash on delivery). We email you the tracking number when it ships.
You can also pick it up at our Tokyo studio, by appointment; we arrange the time by email.
The rental starts on the day of delivery or hand-over.
The return shipping is yours.
When is the deposit refunded?
Within 7 business days of the instrument's return and inspection, to the same card, less any damage amounts or late fees. Your card statement may take a further 5 to 10 business days to show it.
Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays and the New Year break. Dispatch, return checks and refunds happen on business days.
What if it is damaged or faulty?
Small marks from playing and the normal drift in tuning are never charged. Only real damage, such as a dent, a crack, damage to the case or a loss, is charged, as follows:
- Normal wear, small marks and the drift in tuning: ¥0
- Damage that can be repaired (a dent, a deep scratch): the actual cost of the repair, never more than the ¥88,000 deposit
- Damage beyond repair, loss or theft: the sale price of ¥176,000 less the monthly fees you have paid (up to two months), with the deposit applied
- Hard case damaged or lost: ¥16,500
These are deducted from the deposit, and anything beyond it is invoiced. If the instrument is stolen or lost, please tell us at once.
If anything about the sound or the finish concerns you, tell us within 2 days of delivery or hand-over, with photos or a video. A defect on arrival or damage in transit: we exchange it or refund everything you paid. If we hear nothing within those 2 days, we take it that the instrument arrived without visible fault.
You can also try one first
Before renting, play one at our Tokyo studio.
