The Violin Shoppe
With our flexible rental programs, it's easy to begin playing a string instrument. With approved credit, you can take home an instrument and build up equity towards an instrument purchase as you make low monthly payments. Take advantage of our rental insurance program to protect your rental investment against accidental damage. You won't be locked into a long rental period; simply rent the instrument for as long as you need it. We rent quality instruments which are guaranteed to meet your teacher's expectations. All instruments are fully carved (except bass) and come with a wooden or fiberglass bow with horsehair. All instruments feature quality ebony fittings and are adjusted to high standards. Quite simply, our goal is to have the finest rentals at the best prices available. Here's how it works:
Build up equity
while you rent!
Rental Plan: 100% of the rent paid during your first year and 50% of rent paid during following years may be applied towards the purchase of any instrument or bow in our shop. Rental insurance is not included in calculating equity. A credit check will be required before participating in our rental program.
Trade-in or Return of Instruments:
When you rent an instrument from us, you will be playing on a clean, well-adjusted instrument with fresh strings and bow hair. To help cover the costs of keeping these instruments in top shape while keeping prices low, it is necessary for us to charge a refurbishing fee when an instrument is returned. This fee may be waived if the instrument is returned in perfect condition. If an instrument not covered by insurance is returned with damage present, you will be charged for the cost of any needed repairs.
Rental Insurance
Protect Your Investment:
You do your best to care for your rental instrument, but when routine maintenance is required, or if accidental damage does occur, then your rental insurance will pay for itself. With our insurance plan, most routine maitnenance such as bridge adjustment, peg adjustment, and fingerboard maintenance are performed at no charge. Any accidental damage is repaired at no charge. The only items not covered by insurance are broken strings and bow rehairs. Insurance will not cover damage due to intentional misuse, abuse, or negligence. In the event of a broken bow, we may, at our discretion, replace the broken bow with a more durable fiberglass bow.

A credit check will be required prior to rental. We reserve the right to deny or discontinue rental service and / or rental insurance to any client. This may be done in the case of a client who has repeated accidents which cause severe damage to the instrument, or for any other reason. No refunds will be given. For clients without insurance, client will be responsible for the cost of any and all repairs, up to the full value of the instrument. In the event of theft of an instrument covered by our insurance, a replacement will be given only after an authorized copy of a police report documenting the theft has been presented to us. In the event of failure to pay rent for 3 or more consecutive months, the instrument will be considered sold, and the client will be held liable for the full remaining value of the instrument plus any collection fees, attorney fees, or other related costs. If an instrument not covered by insurance is returned with damage present, the client will be charged for the cost of any needed repairs.
