Renting in a COVID-19 Era

In order to minimize contact as much as possible, we will be providing parents and teachers with guidance about sizing their students so that we can set up a new rental from start to finish without the necessity of you visiting the shop. 
​
If you need to up-size because your student has grown, call us ahead of time so we can have the appropriate instrument ready to exchange. 

An Introduction to Renting an Instrument

When you rent at High Strung, all of the rent that you pay on time accrues as credit. This credit can be used for up to 50% of the price of a new violin, viola, or cello when you are ready to buy.

Additionally, our rental program includes a maintenance plan, which covers almost any accidental damage that may occur during the course of your rental.

About Brand Names :

We're often asked, "Do you carry X-brand?" or "...my child's teacher says I should get a Z-Brand violin." 
If the violin sounds great and plays well, we couldn't care less about the name on the inside. Sometimes they are famous brands, and sometimes they are from small shops.

​A Note to Parents of Young String Players:

"My child wants to play violin, what am I in for?"
​Learning a bowed instrument is challenging yet rewarding. With your encouragement, your child will learn to play and develop life skills while doing so. Many studies have proven that children who make music learn social and emotional skills faster than their non-musical peers and improve their grades overall.
