All our hire instruments are professionally set up and maintained by a trained Luthier. We can arrange violins, violas and cellos of all sizes for hire.
Our hire instruments come with everything you need to get started: the instrument, bow, case or bag & rosin. All violin and violas come with standard shoulder rests.
Hire an instrument before you decide to buy.
Often the decision to buy your child an instrument can be difficult. Why not hire an instrument to see if child enjoys playing. If you decide to buy a new instrument after paying the quarterly hire fee we will credit the full first quarterly hire fee towards the payment of your new instrument.
Hiring an instrument can be a financially smart decision when children are still growing. As your child grows and progresses through the different sizes of the instrument we will swap sizes for you as needed. This way you have the security of knowing your child will always have access to the right size instrument at no extra charge.
Of course we can assist with sizing of the instruments for your child.
