Violin Rental

string rentals in palatine IL

The violin is a popular instrument for beginning music students. It can be heard in symphony orchestras as well as in country and bluegrass bands. While all string instruments produce sound in the same manner, (by drawing the bow across one of the four strings or by plucking the strings) the size of the instrument creates a higher or lower sound. Students should be measured by a music teacher to determine the correct size violin. With The Music Room rent-to-own contract, students can upgrade to a larger instrument at any time.

The correct size for each student depends on the arm length and overall size of the student. Students should be measured to determine what size instrument they need. Size upgrades are available at any time under the rental contract.

Cello Rental

Your child may outgrow his or her cello rather quickly so rental is a good option. It is important to be “fitted” to determine the right size instrument.  The cello is the second largest string instrument. It is played in an upright position with the left hand resting on the back of the neck and the right either plucks the strings or holds the bow. Learning to play the cello will give you the opportunity to explore a variety of music genres.

  • Pickup & Payment Info

    Payment Information
    Reservations are not complete until payment has been received. We will contact you to set up a payment method. Thereafter, rental payments will be settled automatically via credit card or bank draft. We will ask you to supply your chosen method of payment at the time the contract is signed. Monthly payments are due every 30 days, beginning with the month following your requested pickup date above.

    Every Payment Builds Equity Our program is an equity building program. That means that each rental payment (excluding the maintenance and repair fee) goes toward the purchase of your instrument. For stringed instruments, your accumulated equity is applied through each size increase toward the purchase of a full size student instrument. There is no obligation to buy, however, and the instrument may be returned at any time.

    We are now taking reservations for Summer 2021 as well as the Fall 2021 school year. Please indicate your preferred pickup date and we will do our best to accommodate you.
