Music Stores
When it comes to selecting the right instrument, there are several reputable music stores in the area that rent and sell quality student instruments. (It is very easy to get an instrument that looks like a violin, viola, cello, or bass, but the quality is so poor that your student ends up becoming extremely frustrated. For more on this, please read the page on Violin Shaped Objects.) An optimal plan is the rent-to-own plan that most of these stores have available. Each one may work slightly differently, but I am sure that you can find the right instrument for your student at a reasonable rate!
