Which range is right for you?
Rentals
If you’re just trying it out, you should rent. This usually applies to beginners in an orchestra program and adults that don’t want to risk $1000 on something they might not stick with. If you’ve already been playing for a few years, you should purchase. If you’re confident you’ll play long enough to acquire the skill, you should purchase. If you’re not financially ready, we’ve partnered with an amazing and trustworthy financing institution so that you can get the tools you need.
BEGINNER VIOLINS - Under $1000
