You will need to arrange to rent an instrument from a local string shop. Before contacting a store, you'll need to take a few measurements to determine the size of the instrument your child needs. Click here to learn how to measure your child.

Mounds View Schools works primarily with two local string shops: House of Note and All Strings Attached. We strongly recommend renting from one of these two shops, as they arrange to deliver instruments directly to your child's school, and will do any swapping out of instruments due to changes in size or for repairs directly on site (no need for you to drive to their shop). They offer high quality instruments that ensure your child has everything they need to produce a good sound on their instrument.
