This section of our website tells you everything you need to know to be well-informed about
renting your student's violin, viola or cello. (For
Guitar, Banjo, and Mandolin Rentals, click

But first, a note to parents:

Most parents are anxious about buying or renting their child's first violin, viola or
cello.  
You are shopping "blind" so to speak, since most parents have no background in the
instrument. It's not a comfortable situation.

We try our best at High Strung to alleviate as much of the anxiety as possible.  First, we
educate the student and parent about the instruments - this takes time but we think it's
important to get everyone comfortable with the instrument and its care.

Secondly, once you're in our shop, you'll quickly see that we actually
care about your student's
success with the instrument.  We don't view the instruments as commodities (like the internet
and bigger stores do) nor do we view you and your student as numbers.

We want you and your student to be excited about playing the instrument. That excitement is
vital to continued success.
