  • Service Plan is included with all rentals, and covers ANY AND ALL accidental damage and usage damage to the instrument, case, or bow, and free replacement of broken strings (bow rehairs on a limited basis). Though the Service plan is included in the cost of all rental instruments, it does not add to the Rental Credit. The Service Plan is not optional.
  • 100% of your Rental Fee (up to 18 months) accumulates as Rental Credit & can be applied towards the purchase of any of our handmade instruments by D. Albert, F. Costa, Atelier Cremone, or Vintage instruments. The Rental Instrument is not for sale. Visit our instrument pages to see (& dream of!) your next step-up instrument.
  • Most of our rental instruments are fitted with Wittner FineTune pegs and a carbon composite tailpiece with 4 fine tuners. The Wittner FineTune pegs never slip or stick, making it very easy to keep your instrument in tune. Tune the strings by simply turning the peg. Please do not push or pull on the pegs when tuning or changing a string - the pegs are not removable.
  • All of our rental instruments include rosin. Violin & viola outfits include a shoulder rest. Some of our cello outfits have a Polly Mute. Please return these items when you return the rented outfit. 
  • Coming to Minneapolis/St. Paul for a performance or vacation? Don't trust the airlines with your expensive instrument - rent one! HIGHER QUALITY and PROFESSIONAL GRADE rental instruments are available. 
  • Rental charges are non-refundable.
  • Not sure if you want to make the financial commitment to purchase a high quality stringed instrument? Rent one from us! We have several high quality full size, 7/8, & 3/4 instruments available to rent. Get the playing experience of a hand made, artisan crafted instrument at a fraction of the cost!


RENTAL CREDIT

During the first 18 months of your rental, ALL of your Rental Fee accumulates as Rental Credit. Your Rental Credit may be applied towards the purchase of any new, handmade instrument from our Atelier Cremone, D. Albert, F. Costa models, or vintage instrument collection. Rental Credit, (less Service Plan charges), accrues for 18 months. You may continue to rent longer than 18 months, but no more Rental Credit will accrue. The Rental Credit will be subtracted from the price of the new instrument. Rental Credit has no cash value.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A 'RENT-TO-OWN' PROGRAM. THE RENTAL INSTRUMENTS ARE NOT FOR SALE. RENTAL CHARGES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. Visit our instrument pages to see instruments your Rental Credit can be applied towards.


SERVICE PLAN

Our Service Plan covers the cost of repairs or replacement for ANY and ALL accidental or usage damage done to the instrument, case, or bow while it is in your possession. It also provides free replacement of broken or damaged strings, as well as one free bow rehair (every 18 months or longer) or replacement as needed. The Service Plan is included in the total monthly cost of your rental outfit. The Service Plan DOES NOT cover complete loss. The Service Plan is not optional.


HIGHER QUALITY RENTALS Our higher quality rentals are perfect for the advanced player that isn't ready to make a large financial commitment. You can play on an instrument and bow that will take you to advanced levels for far less than you would pay for an equivalent instrument. All the while accruing rental credit you can use towards buying your dream instrument.


PROFESSIONAL GRADE RENTALS  Professional grade rentals are great for musicians traveling to the Twin Cities area who don't want to risk flying with their own instrument, but need an instrument suitable for local performances. 


Please note:

  • This is not a ''Rent to Own'  program - rental instruments are not for sale. 
  • Rental Charges are non-refundable.

Visit our instrument pages to see instruments your Rental Credit can be applied towards.
