Premium Cello Rental Package

Product Information

This Premium Cello Rental Package is ideal for students seeking a more responsive, higher-quality instrument than typical beginner models. Suitable for those working towards Grades 3 to 5, this cello is perfect for advancing players who need more tonal clarity and improved projection.

Whether you're looking for student cello hire for lessons, ensemble playing, or home practice, this rental package offers excellent value and performance. The cello is hand carved from maple and spruce, with carefully graduated tonewoods for a warmer, more focused sound. Ebony fittings offer long-term reliability, and the included hardwood bow (with half-mounted ebony frog) supports smooth articulation.

Each cello rental outfit includes:

• A high-quality intermediate student cello

• Hardwood bow with half-mounted ebony frog

• Padded gig bag with rucksack straps and high-vis detailing

• Rosin

All rental instruments are professionally set up at our Billinghay workshop, ensuring optimal sound and playability from the start.

Rental Terms:

• Minimum rental period: 12 months

• Proof of address and a valid photo ID are required

• A rental agreement must be completed and signed before dispatch (we’ll send this to you separately)

• Terms & Conditions apply

Professional Set-Up

At Bridge Street Violins, we offer a comprehensive professional setup that goes above and beyond the basic factory setup provided by most other shops. Each instrument is carefully adjusted by our expert luthier to ensure optimal sound and playability. Depending on the instrument, this setup may include:

• Peg adjustment

• Fingerboard resurfacing (if necessary)

• Top nut adjustment

• Sound post and bridge fitting

• String height adjustments

• Tailored settings for enhanced playing comfort

This service ensures your instrument is fully prepared for high-quality performance, tailored to your individual needs. It’s a level of care that sets us apart from other retailers who typically offer a basic factory setup.

What Happens When I Order?

Once we receive your order, our luthier Laurentius will personally get in touch to introduce himself, discuss your specific requirements and guide you through the next steps. We’ll also prepare your rental agreement and send it to you via email.

Please Note: We cannot process any special orders or dispatch rental outfits until the signed rental agreement is returned, proof of address and a valid photo ID have been supplied.

How Long Will My Order Take to Arrive?

We’re a small, family-run workshop with a big focus on quality. For all the details on our delivery times, shipping options and how we’re working to reduce our carbon footprint, see our Delivery Information page.

Postage Options

Once the instrument is perfectly set up, we’ll ship it within Great Britain. Due to some limitations on our platform, postage charges are invoiced separately. We’ll provide delivery options once your order is confirmed. Alternatively, you can collect your instrument free of charge from our workshop near Lincoln. Rentals are only available in Great Britain and can’t be shipped overseas or taken out of the country by our renters, but we’re glad to assist with any questions you might have, wherever you’re based.

Paying Rent

The price listed on this page is the monthly rental amount. By selecting this rental package, you’re setting up an automatic monthly recurring payment, which will be deducted from your bank account on the same day each month. The minimum rental period is 12 months, after which the agreement will continue on a rolling month-to-month basis.

Note: While rental prices may increase due to inflation, you can rest assured that your monthly payment will never change mid-contract or during the rolling month-to-month period.

What Happens if You Want to Buy Your Instrument?

You can purchase any rental cello outright. Simply visit our shop for more details on the instrument’s product page. If you decide to buy your rental instrument or upgrade to a different one, we offer a 50% discount on up to one year’s rent as a loyalty bonus. This discount can be claimed up to 6 months after you return your rental. Terms & Conditions apply
