Our equity program is second to none!  It allows all rental payments (excluding maintenance & tax) to apply toward the purchase of a new, used or step-up instrument when you finish renting.  Also, your equity is never capped, so you continue to accrue credit for as long as your rental is active.  No chain store, superstore or general music store can match our program.  Only a violin shop can provide the quality of service and inventory you will need.  If you are considering another rental agency, check their policy closely.  A few dollars saved in the beginning may end up being very costly in the end.

Our standard rentals are good quality instruments which are excellent for beginning students.  We make sure that every instrument is gone over by one of our craftsmen before they are put into our inventory.  We use Thomastic step up strings on all of our standard violins to ensure that they sound (and play) as good as possible.  A well set-up instrument will greatly enhance the learning process for students.  

ALL VIOLINS   $19 per month rental plus $7 per month maintenance (1st 2 months for $10 + tax)

12”-14” VIOLAS   $19 per month rental plus $7 per month maintenance (1st 2 months for $10 + tax)

15”-16” VIOLAS    $28/mo. plus $7 maintenance (1st 2 months for $30 + tax)

ALL CELLO SIZES    $35/mo. plus $10 maintenance (1st 2 months for $50 + tax)

ALL BASS SIZES    $70/mo. plus $15 maintenance (1st 2 months for $110 + tax)

For advancing students who require a better sounding instrument in fractional sizes, we offer intermediate celli with carved tops.  These instruments will fill the gap between the early student days and an eventual purchase.  When you upgrade into an intermediate rental, your account maintains any rental credit accrued on your standard rental. 

Cello ~ 1/4 through 4/4   $42 rental plus $10 maintenance 

We are very pleased to be able to offer the finest fractional and full size rentals to our advancing students.  These are very high quality European (Doetsch is German, Ivan Dunov and Martin Beck, Romanian) instruments that will allow your student to advance beyond that which he or she could achieve on a standard rental violin or an inexpensive Asian import.
