Actually, our store has a very similar plan, although your price suggestion
is a trifle optimistic. Our contracts cover anything up to complete
replacement of student-quality instruments, and all repairs on anything
else. Prices range from about $30 to $60 per year, depending upon the
value of the instrument, if the instrument was purchased from us, somewhat
higher if not. You can bring your instrument in once a year or once a week
if you want, and we provide loaners, too.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
