American rental rates will probably be different from Australian rates, but you might want to start in the ballpark of 10% of the instrument's value. I believe that's what the orchestra's here do. Depending on whether we have a good relationship with the organization wanting to rent the instrument, that can either be for the whole hire period or per week.

For those who aren't familiar with the name G&P, it was formed by many of the craftsmen at Kalison after Kalison ceased production.
