Student Violins

Most beginners start in orchestra on a student level instrument, and because kids have a tendency to change their minds, we recommend our rent-to-own program. Our flexible rental plan allows you to get an educator-recommended instrument in your child’s hands without breaking the bank. You can return or exchange your rental instrument at any time, and 100% of your monthly rental payment applies toward the purchase of a full-size instrument.
