Instruments, Repairs, and Guidance

Violins and Violas

Compare violins and violas suited to different playing levels, musical needs, and budgets. Get help considering size, setup, and sound so you can make an informed choice. Whether you are selecting a first instrument or looking for a different fit, ask about available options and what to consider before deciding.

Cellos and Basses

Explore cellos and double basses for school programs, lessons, and ongoing playing. Choosing a larger instrument involves fit, handling, and storage as well as sound. Get guidance on those considerations and learn which available options may suit your needs. Bring questions about your playing situation to help narrow down the choices.

Bows and Accessories

Find the supporting gear that helps you play, transport, and care for your instrument. Options may include bows, strings, cases, rosin, and other accessories for orchestral string players. If you are unsure what fits your instrument or routine, ask for help comparing choices and identifying the essentials you need.

Instrument Rentals

A rental can help students begin playing without choosing an instrument to keep long term. Ask about available instruments, sizing, included essentials, and rental terms before making a decision. The right fit can make practice more comfortable as a player develops. Contact the store to learn what rental options are currently available.

Instrument Repairs

Changes in sound, loose parts, or wear can affect how an instrument plays. Bring in your violin, viola, cello, or bass to discuss the issue and possible repair needs. The store can help you understand next steps and whether the instrument needs attention before regular practice or performance. Ask about repair availability and timing.

Instrument Setup

A suitable setup supports comfortable playing and helps an instrument respond as expected. Get guidance on fit and setup concerns, including issues that may arise as a student grows or changes instruments. Describe what feels difficult or sounds different, and ask which adjustments may help. Setup needs can vary by instrument and player.
