Rental Program

High-Quality Instruments for Students of Every Level

Our rental program is built around one core principle: Students should learn on instruments that make them sound good from day one.
That’s why our rentals are:

  • Crafted in established workshops across Europe and select international ateliers, each chosen for consistency, materials, and reliability.
  • The same quality we use in our step-up and sales inventory
  • Professionally set up in-house for comfort, tone, and responsiveness

We work with select makers and workshops whose standards for craftsmanship, materials, and consistency match our own.

They shipped my beautiful Canzona violin within a couple hours. Amazing! The instrument blew my son's teacher away. For the price, the sound and setup were increible!

Amazing job in repairing my violin! I took it here to get my bow re-haired. I also had my bridge lowered. I love the work they did and I’m so happy to have found this place for all my violin needs!! I very highly recommend this store. They are highly professional people and I will definitely be coming back as a repeat customer!!
