Instrument Rental Information (Beginner's Only)
Important Note:
Students must provide their own instruments.
If you don’t have one, please rent your violin by May 21.
Please bring your rented violin to Meet & Greet Potluck on Mon, May 25 for instrument to be checked.
(You must have the correct size Wittner chin rest and shoulder rest: Wolfe Forte Secundo.)
Best Rental Option:
Wyatt Violin Shop has quality instruments. (Majority of rental fee goes toward the purchase of a violin)
Since a new size of instrument is needed every 1-3 years. It’s much wiser to rent and invest in the equity, than to buy an instrument, and then have to sell every other year.
Please make an appointment online or call:
