GoogleDoc:  Procurring an Instrument

We highly recommend renting an instrument through Paige's Music. Their rent-to-own programs offer competitive rates compared to other music vendors in the area, and the included warranty covers instrument repair! Here is a link to the Paige's Music online rental portal.

Another great string instrument shop in our area is Indy Violins! They also have resources for anyone interested in getting private lessons on their instrument.
