Instrument Hire
Over the years, our Strings Committee have been fortunate to be able to procure instruments to enable newcomers to trial & hire instruments prior to purchasing an instrument. For students enrolled in our Training String Ensemble, we have few violins in size 1/8, 1/4 & 1/2 and cellos in 1/2 & 1/4 available for hire. Hire is subject to availability due to limited quantities available.
Hire Fees
Approximate charges for hire:
Violin hire fee: $150 for 2 school terms
Violin security bond: $100
Cello hire fee: $150 for 2 school terms
Cello security bond: $150
* Subject to changes, final fees will be per the hire agreement.
Policies
Due care of the hired instrument is required, and full responsibility must be taken by the Strings member and their parents/carers.Â
Unless arrangement has been made, all hire instruments must be returned to String Committee at the end of term 4 (on a date to be advised) for our annual instrument audit and service check.
Students who are continuing in the String Program in the following year may continue to hire instrument for practice over the summer holidays (subject to instrument availability) and over Terms 1&2 of the following year, at an additional cost.
More information will be provided in our hire agreement.
