Renting allows access to high-quality beginner instruments without the upfront cost. This way, you avoid sabotaging a beginner with a poor instrument and can learn on a top-notch violin, ensuring a better playing experience and increasing the chances of success.

“I brought my very tiny 6-year old in today to be fitted for a violin. Emily was super kind and took the time to make sure she was comfortable with the size we selected, as well as show her how to properly handle and store her violin. The shop is beautiful, and I enjoyed seeing all the beautiful string instruments. We had a great experience and are happy to have Beau Vinci so close to us! I hope we’ll be patronizing them for many years.“

“We just wrapped up our second violin purchase with Beau Vinci. I cannot say enough about the thoroughness, professionalism and patience that Emily has provided us. The details we were given about the violin’s history, the technical insight as to why it sounds like it does, along with the answers to all of our questions, surpassed every expectation we had. Emily has made us feel like family, and we look forward to many years of continued business with them. We highly recommend Beau Vinci Violins!”

“Emily (the owner) is top notch and cares deeply for her customers. The quality of the instruments and most importantly the service and responsiveness are second to none. She gives you her personal number and will respond and be of assistance even when the business is closed! (This level of service is priceless!) I have three children who play multiple instruments and we have purchased and rented from the big box/chain institutions. Their level of service is typically mediocre at best.”

I purchased my Dan Foster cello at this shop several years ago and have continued to work with owner Emily and the lovely employees at this shop. They have a great selection of instruments and bows at good price points, and will always make sure to help you find what’s best for you. I just had a major repair done on my cello and am thankful I have Beau Vinci to trust for such an important thing. Highly recommend!
