Amadeus Rental Program

Amadeus Strings specializes in the rental of quality student violins and violas. For both beginning and advancing students, Amadeus Strings offers only high quality European string instruments. All rentals consist of an outfit that includes a hand carved violin/viola, natural horsehair bow, case, rosin and a contoured sponge shoulder rest. Insurance is included in your rental fee, protecting you in case of damage of the instrument. In case the instrument requires repair, Amadeus strings will provide a temporary loaner free of extra charge. Our equity program allows you to apply money from your rental fee towards the purchase of a violin/viola or outfit from Amadeus Strings. Equity accrues at 100% of the first year's rental fee (excluding insurance and tax), plus 40% of the second year, plus 20% of each additional year.
