Master Hand Violin Shop has instruments for rent for all ages and sizes. Instruments are rented as the instrument, bow, and case. Instruments are rented for three months at a time. The first three months of rental are viewed as a deposit: if the instrument is returned before the three months are complete, there is no refund available. When the third month of rental is coming to completion, you will receive a bill in the mail for the next three months; you may either pay the bill or return the instrument. Automatic payments via credit card are also available. There is no fee to change sizes; simply stop by our store, and we will help you pick out an instrument for rent in the next size needed.
There is insurance available for a onetime fee of $10.00. This insurance includes any damage to the instrument and bow except intentional destruction. String replacement is also not included in the insurance, since strings break naturally in the course of owning an instrument.
While the instruments that we rent are not for sale, you may use money paid to rent to eventually purchase an instrument, bow, and case. One hundred percent of what you pay to rent will available to put towards the purchase of an instrument up to 40% of the purchase price.
Master Hand Violin Shop is the official provider for the Elmhurst school district. We travel out to Elmhurst once a week to pick up instruments for repairs and size changes. The student may leave the instrument with the teacher at school when a need for repair or larger size has been accessed. Most questions are answered here. Additionally, all teachers have strings, rosin, mutes, and other supplies on hand for purchase at school. The amount of money/item to be sent with your child to school can be found here.
