Sizing and Rates - Rentals for your aspiring musician.
The Right Start...
Whether it be Suzuki or traditional, private or public school, city or rural, every child deserves it. Our rental program is designed to benefit and accommodate students, teachers, and parents.
The best way to size your child is to bring them into our shop and have someone on staff size them or to have your teacher size them. When this isn't possible, there are a few options.
The charts below show approximate arm lengths for violin and viola, and approximate heights for cello and bass.
Please allow for an hour of your family's time during the rental process. Come well fed and rested, you will learn a lot and we will be happy to answer all your questions.
We are animal friendly; cats and a dog roam the building.
