Effective date: November 11, 2026
These terms govern your use of this website and your submission of a rental application. They are not the rental-purchase agreement. If we can offer an instrument, we will send a separate written agreement. That written agreement, not this page, governs the rental.
Agreement to these terms
By using this website or submitting an application, you agree to these Website and Application Terms.
Who may use this site
You must be 18 or older to apply. We accept applications from families across the United States. Availability, delivery, and agreement terms for your state are confirmed in writing before you sign.
Rental applications
Now accepting rental applications from families across the United States. You may apply on this site. We will review your application, contact you, and send a contract if we can offer a suitable instrument. Applying is free and does not commit you to rent. Applying is not payment or a reservation, and there is no guarantee of a specific instrument or delivery date.
Pricing, deposit, and delivery
Pricing is quoted per instrument in writing before you sign. Any deposit and delivery charges are quoted in writing before you sign.
Rent-to-own (summary only)
The written agreement controls. In summary, the model is a month-to-month rent-to-own / rental-purchase agreement; 100% of rent paid is credited toward that violin, as stated in the written agreement; you may return the violin anytime, as set out in your written agreement; and early buyout is the cash price minus rent paid, plus tax. Each rental starts with a try-at-home window, typically 7–14 days. The exact window and return steps are set out in your written agreement. Applicable sales tax is added to rent where required. This summary is not a rental contract and does not promise a full refund, free return shipping, a specific instrument, shipping to every state, or “no deposit.”
Shipping
Delivery is primarily by shipping. We confirm availability, delivery, and agreement terms for your state in writing before you sign. Address eligibility and delivery charges are confirmed in writing before you sign.
