Rental Program


We rent out the instruments we teach most frequently.  If you don't see an instrument for rent and would like to rent one, contact us and we'll see what can be done!  (Some instruments, like the Irish bouzouki, are just too expensive to make it worthwhile.)

Prices fluctuate so much post-covid, that you will have to contact us for a quote on a specific instrument!  Below, we'll give a price range so that you know what you're getting into:

Mandolins:

  • Beginner/Basic A-style - approximately $19 a month with a $99 deposit
  • Beginner/Basic F-style - approximately $25 a month with a $139 deposit
  • Advanced A-style - approximately $30 a month with a $250 deposit
  • Advanced F-style - approximately $45 a month with a $450 deposit
Fiddles/Violins:
  • Student outfit with foam case - approximately $30 a month with a $99 deposit
