VIOLIN RENTALS
Once your child has been enrolled as a new Strings, Inc. student, you will be responsible for obtaining an instrument via either rental or purchase.
-
If your child is age 5 or younger, they will generally begin on a cardboard instrument that can be obtained directly through your teacher. These youngest students will move to an actual instrument when they can show both the ability to follow basic instructions and also proficiency in some basic techniques.
-
Students age 6 or above will generally begin directly on an instrument, but will need to be measured for sizing. All stringed instruments come in graduated sizes and are measured according to a student’s height, arm length and/or finger length. It is best to be measured directly by your teacher; playing on an instrument that is too large can result in muscle strain and undesirable technique.
-
The very youngest students generally begin on a 1/16th size instrument, and will gradually work up through the 1/10th, 1/8th, ¼, ½ and ¾ sizes before reaching the full size instrument anywhere between 6th and 9th grades. How much time is spent in each particular size depends entirely on rate of growth.
Strings, Inc. has one or two violins in each of the above sizes for rent at a cost of $60 per six months, so please inquire of your teacher if you would like to find out which are available. No purchase option is available for instruments owned by Strings, Inc.
Stringed instruments are also available for rental or purchase at
