Instruments

Bowed String Shop LLC is committed to maintaining the highest quality rental instruments at an affordable price. Each of our rentals are setup to the highest playing level and include all instrument maintenance by default. Our rental program is not a “rent-to-own” system, but all rental credit can be applied to a purchase of an excellent instrument in our inventory. When you rent an instrument from us, you are entering into a partnership where you’ll receive the support you need while gaining access to a high-quality instrument. The ability for a student to grow depends greatly upon the instrument they have access to. Bowed String Shop can help fit the right instrument with your needs, enabling growth and fulfillment.

When you need a violin, viola, cello, or bass rental, come to Bowed String shop, our trained string specialists are here to help!
