  • Helpful Tips for New Orchestral Parents

  • New to this musical world? Follow these slides for some helpful tips!!

  • Violins, Viola & Cellos Have Different Sizes

  • Violins & Cellos are sized in fractions. (1/8 - 4/4) Violas are sized in Inches. (Ex. 11" - 16") School teachers can provide sizing or we can help in shop. Just bring the musician along with you so we can determine the best size for them.

  • Avoid the 'First Week Back to School' Lines!

  • 4pm - 6pm are the most saturated times and wait times tend to be longer. If you can visit us outside of that timeframe, it would make the rental process less hectic. Alternatively, if you are able to come any other time than the first week of school, the rental process may even be close to enjoyable!

  • Set Time Aside for The Rental Process

  • With your undivided attention, most times we can process a rental under 20 minutes. Be ready with ID, references & employment information. Distractions and incomplete information will delay the rental process.

  • Need An Instrument, But Stuck at Work?

  • While we prefer to meet you in person, we absolutely can arrange for a rental to be done remotely. We can send a contract electronically, and a payment link for dues owed. Keep in mind, this process normally takes 24-48 hours to complete. All instruments ARE on a first come, first serve basis. Your instrument will not be reserved until BOTH contract and payment are complete.

  • Need Accessories Fast?

  • We offer our accessory packets annually with everything you need at a discounted rate in ONE package ready to go.
