Violin sales and rentals.
A service that I offer to my students is that all items needed to start lessons are available to purchase at my studio. I offer quality, playable instruments cheaper than local music
stores, whose employees do not always have personal violin
knowledge. I take a personal interest in
outfitting my students the the best violin for their personality and
price range. For rent or sale are new violins that have been inspected and professionally adjusted, and I have used violins that I have personally selected and are in great condition. All of these violins are rented and sold with brand new Thomastik Dominant strings, cases, and bows.
Do not risk buying a violin on Craigslist or Ebay that you cannot play first, compare to several other violins, or return if it is not working out. Be very wary of most of the violins under $300- $400, they will not sound good, be very hard to play, and not stay in tune.
Rental Policies.
My high quality rental violins are new German or Czeck violins or refurbed used instruments in like-new condition.
Rental Fee is $26.99/month.
Rental payment is due on the first day of each rental period and will be automatically charged on the credit card provided. 75% of rental the monthly rental fee is credited toward purchase of any like instrument. Rental credits can be acquired for up to 18 months with continuous rental. All credit is lost if rental is not renewed after three months. Rental credits cannot be used toward the purchase of consignment instruments, upgraded bows, or accessories.
If the rented violin is not purchased, damage resulting from neglect or mistreatment, such as broken and lost parts, body damage including scratches and dents will result in extra charges for the renter. If the instrument is lost or stolen, the renter is responsible for the full price of the instrument.
Rental fees do not cover the replacement of broken strings. Broken strings must be replaced with Thomastic Dominant brand strings.
Supplies.
I also stock all accessories and books needed for taking lessons. Accessories include: Wolf and Kun shoulder rests, chin rests, Thomastic Dominant strings, dampits, tuners, metronomes, rosin, cleaning supplies, violin wall hangers, mutes, bows, cases... Books for sale include most popular methods and a variety of supplementary materials: all kinds fiddle music, jazz violin, classical violin, pop hits, Christmas music, and more.
These violins are at my home studio. By appointment only.
