Student Rental Scheme

Thwaites
have been renting violins, violas, cellos & mini basses for over 20
years not just here in Watford, London and the Home counties but
Nationwide.
If
you wish to hire we have all sizes and different qualities of violin,
viola, cello & double bass (along with mini bass) outfits for rental.
All
instruments are carefully set up in our own workshop to a high
standard. The bridge is replaced or refitted and adjustments made to
the pegs, nut, etc. We fit adjusters or integral tailpieces to help
tuning. The bow is often replaced with one of a better quality. The outfits are supplied with bow, case (or cover for cello and double bass), a cake of good quality rosin and are ready to play.
Why
rent from us? Though renting is already a low cost option (and our
prices are already very competitive) we also cover the cost of
replacement strings, bow re-hairs, fair wear-and-tear and the general
maintenance and upkeep of the instrument during the rental period. Any
major damage or loss must rightly be covered by the customer but, if
cared for correctly, there should be no additional costs other than the
monthly fee. That can be invaluable in family budgeting.
There is no minimum or maximum period of hire and instruments may be changed for a different size or upgraded or returned at any time without penalty.
