The Fat Llama system is not perfect for our month-to-month purposes but we can make it work. All you need to do is select a rental period from one Picnic to the next, so the 8th November to the 13th December, and hit the “Request Booking” button. I’ll then confirm it and adjust the price so it’s right plus any fees imposed by the website. Once you’ve paid you’ll be asked to verify your identity – this is key to making the rental process secure. Please bring the same ID with you when you come to collect the synth.
Synth Picnic then creates the perfect situation where someone can come and collect a rental system and return it a month later.
