Why Gitaru clients hire from us.
Gitaru is twelve minutes from Kikuyu town — a young-family residential area where most of our students start between ages six and eight. Piano and recorder are the typical openers; many move to keyboard or violin by age ten. Easy commute, plenty of weekday afternoon slots.
We've been teaching out of Kikuyu since 2016 — Concerto's roots are right here in this corner of Kiambu.

Frequently asked
Quick answers for Gitaru.
01Do you deliver hire equipment to Gitaru?+
We do — Gitaru is about 5 km from our store and within our standard delivery zone. Small items can be collected from the store; full PA / drum setups we deliver and collect for you.
02How are hire rates calculated — by day, weekend, week?+
Daily rates are the base. A weekend (Friday pickup, Monday return) is 2× the day rate. A full week is 4×. Longer hires get a custom quote. The clock starts on collection / delivery and ends on return.
03Is there a deposit?+
Yes — a refundable security deposit per item, returned in full when the equipment comes back in the condition it left. For first-time hirers we keep it conservative; established clients (schools, churches, repeat event organisers in Gitaru) operate on account.
04What gear is available?+
PA systems (300W to 2,000W), drum kits (acoustic + electronic), keyboards and stage pianos, vocal microphones (Shure SM58 and similar), instrument mics, monitor wedges, stands and cables. Lighting and projectors are on request. See the full catalogue at /equipment-hire.
05What if something breaks during the event?+
Fair wear and tear is expected — we don't bill for it. Drops, spills, missing parts and theft come off the deposit at replacement cost. Every piece is tested in front of you at handover and tested again at return, so disputes are rare.
06How far ahead should I book hire for an event in Gitaru?+
Weekend dates fill up two to three weeks ahead in school exam season (Nov, Mar) and around festive dates. Mid-week is usually available with 24–48 hours notice. For large multi-day hires, book at least a week ahead.
