|Rentals|
We offer a range of student models for rental. All rentals are charged every 3 months.
Please note that the parent or legal guardian of the child must sign all rental contracts, and you must bring proof of address in order to complete the contract. We are currently only able to rent out instruments for children.
Listed below are the rental prices of all our instruments. If you are after a specific model and /or size, it is advisable to phone ahead to reserve.
Strings
String rentals are on a rolling contract with payment taken at the start of every three month period. Our staff can assess the correct size of instrument for your child, and the size can be changed when needed at any point in the contract.
