Rental

HIGHLY RECOMMEND RENTING AN INSTRUMENT FROM A LOCAL MUSIC STORE

What to expect from a quality music store:

• A quality instrument that is easy to tune and has 4 fine tuners 

• A luthier (repairs string instruments) on staff when needed

• A rent-to-own plan so that your money goes toward the eventual purchase of the instrument

• Consider a protection/insurance plan to protect you from instrument damage

• Some music stores deliver to school

• Many rentals may include the required listed accessories - if they do not you need to purchase:

  • rosin

  • cleaning cloth

  • cello players need a cello anchor and bass players need a rock stop

  • all violin and viola players in all grades need a shoulder rest (not a sponge or pad, but a real shoulder rest like a Wolf, Kuhn, Fom or Everrest)
