Every violin is professionally set up at our Billinghay workshop, ensuring excellent tone production and playability from the start.

Each rental outfit includes:

  • Hand-carved maple and spruce violin with ebony fingerboard and pegs

  • Carbon fibre bow with ebony frog

  • Padded case with rucksack straps and reflective safety stripes

  • Light Amber Rosin

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 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.
