Rental Programs
Lisle Violin Shop offers a wide variety of instruments available for rent to meet the needs of students at all skill levels. Our selection for rental is unmatched in quality and price. We constantly search for additional models that pass our rigorous standards for tone quality and workmanship. Violins, violas, cellos, and double basses are available for rental. All rentals include appropriate bows, cases or covers, and rosin.
Rental Credit
Lisle Violin Shop’s rental program allows 100% of accumulated credit to be used towards 80% of the purchase price of any outfit of equal or greater value. Our program provides the flexibility young musicians need because it allows them to upgrade size or quality as they grow and progress.

Lisle Violin Shop’s Instrument Protection Plan is included in the price of every rental. We will maintain your instrument, bow, and case in excellent playing condition. Our Protection Plan includes free string replacement, as well as replacement or repair for accidental damage, theft, fire, or flood. Please see the links below for full coverage details.

Early Reservations
Parents of students entering orchestra programs in the fall can place their instrument and supply orders for the upcoming school year as early as March. At Lisle Violin Shop, we encourage ordering as early as possible to ensure the best selection-instrument rentals are available on a first come, first serve basis. Ordering in the spring and summer will save you time, and also eliminates long lines and waiting periods in the fall. The first rental payment for the month of September, and payment for any additional supplies will be processed at the time your order is placed. Your child’s instrument outfit, along with any additional supplies you have ordered, will be delivered to the orchestra director in the fall. For more information, or to place an order, please click here. You may also call either one of our locations to place your rental order by phone.

instrument while we complete your repair in a timely fashion. To make arrangements for delivery services,

Returning a Rental
Lisle Violin Shop’s rental program is month to month, so you may return your rental at any time. Please call us to request return authorization if you wish to have the instrument picked up at a school our shop regularly services. You may also return the instrument to either one of our shops. Violins and violas can be shipped via UPS, FedEx, or USPS-please call us for additional information regarding packaging and insurance. Upon receiving your instrument, any balance due is immediately payable. If your instrument is returned before the 10th of the month, the balance for the month will be removed. Any rental credit accumulated towards purchase will be forfeited 10 days after the rental has been terminated if a purchase option is not elected.
