Rent or Buy?
For most new players, we feel it makes more sense to rent an instrument rather than buy one immediately. This offers the flexibility of a much smaller initial financial investment, with the benefit of applying rental credit to a purchase. In our opinion, the best rental plans offer the option of purchasing from a broad stock of sale instruments. Further, purchasing a stringed instrument is a very personal choice. Without some playing experience it is difficult to have the sensibility about instruments that is necessary to make a well- informed choice.

Renting An Instrument
All of our rental instruments are set-up to a consistently high standard. Our belief is that new players need to work with an instrument that will support their development. We prefer to schedule appointments for rentals, as we take the time to review care of the instrument with new players.

Rental credit may be applied to any like instrument (e.g., violin rental applies to violin purchase); there is no obligation to buy the specific instrument you have been renting  *
The instrument may be exchanged for a larger size when the need occurs.
We make it our highest priority to service rental instruments as quickly and conveniently as possible.
