Picture


It's easy to play any musical instrument: 
all you have to do is touch the right 
key at the right time and the 
instrument will play itself.”
 ― Johann Sebastian Bach



Stringed instruments are sensitive and require careful work before they are ready to play. Our repair staff meticulously sets up every instrument so that new players can focus on developing skills rather than struggling with equipment. Most other music shops and online retailers do not do this.  Although others offer less expensive instruments, these violins often are poorly set up and have inferior strings, making them difficult to tune and play.


We also offer free trade-ins during the rental period, and the first 12 months of rent payment may be applied toward purchase of any instrument.
