Product Information

Our Apprezzato Violin Rental Package is the first violin of our handmade house brand range available through our rental programme, crafted for serious players working at an advanced level. Offering outstanding tonal richness, projection and responsiveness, this violin is ideal for higher grade exams, orchestral playing or those preparing for conservatoire auditions.

Each Apprezzato violin is hand-carved from premium, carefully selected spruce and maple, resulting in a powerful, expressive sound. Ebony fittings ensure durability and smooth tuning, while the hardwood bow with a half-mounted ebony frog is balanced to support refined technique. The included padded case with rucksack straps and high-visibility detailing offers excellent protection and ease of transport.

Every instrument is professionally set up at our Billinghay workshop, ensuring the very highest standard of playability, tonal balance and finish.

Each rental outfit includes:

  • Premium hand-carved spruce and maple violin with ebony fittings

  • Hardwood bow with half-mounted ebony frog

  • High-quality padded case with rucksack straps and reflective safety stripes

  • Light Amber Rosin

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 hire application form and send it to you via email.

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

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. 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 violin 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
