Rentals

We offer violin, viola and cello rentals in all sizes. Our standard rental instruments are Eastman models. Rental outfits include an instrument, a bow and a case. A variety of accessories, such as shoulder rests, rosins and the method books for violin, viola and cello are also available for purchase in our shop. Our rental program offers graduated sizes, a maintenance option, and an equity/purchase plan. All rentals are billed in three-month increments. When a student outgrows their instrument, that instrument can be exchanged for a larger size at any time for no additional charge.

Make an appointment to get started!

We are looking forward to helping you get started! Give us a call to schedule an appointment and we will have an instrument ready for you to take home. We can help fit young learners to ensure correct instrument sizes, and are happy to place finger tapes on the fingerboard if desired.

Maintenance Program:

Our maintenance program is optional but recommended. The program covers repair and replacement of any rental instrument due to normal use, accidental damage, and theft. It includes the replacement of broken strings, bridges, tailpieces, pegs and fingerboards. Our maintenance program does not cover varnishing, bow rehairs, lost instruments, intentional damage to instruments, instruments damaged because of storage in a vehicle or instruments stolen from an unattended vehicle, damage incurred during shipping, or shipping costs.

Equity/Purchase Program:

If the renter wishes to eventually purchase an instrument from our shop, our equity/purchase plan will help cover the cost! We will apply 100% of all paid rental fees towards the purchase of the rental instrument. Alternatively, your rental equity can be applied to the purchase of any other instrument in the shop for up to 50% of the value of the purchased instrument.  Equity must be used within 90 days after the close of the rental account or it will be forfeited.

Renter Responsibility:

Until the instrument is returned and if the renter has chosen to bypass the maintenance option, the renter will be responsible for the care and safety of our instrument. Should theft or damages occur, the renter will be responsible for the cost of repairs or replacement of the instrument. Our shop must authorize all repairs!
