Specialties
We rent violins, violas, and cellos for small beginners to adult and professional musicians. We offer a rent to buy program option as well, and a part of your rental fees will convert into equity towards the purchase of an instrument with us.
We work by appointment only and appointments need to be set up at least a day in advance. We rent all over the United States, but focus primarily in the NYC area. We work with schools as well providing everything from instruments to music stands, books, and other instructional material.
History
Established in 2015.
After many years of experience selling incredibly valuable violins across the world, which included the sale of the world’s most expensive violin, Paolo, the founder of NYC String Rentals, found that there was an incredible need for high-quality rentals in NYC, Long Island, and across the US. Despite the good intentions of so many violin shops across the nation to provide high quality instruments, many students end up quitting the instruments citing the frustration to be able to improve their sound despite the efforts of hard working teachers. Most of the time, the primary obstacle was the instrument itself, not a lack of talent, dedication, nor good instruction. Low quality instruments can prevent students from learning basic technique and putting that technique to work in order to produce a clear and melodious sound. Hence, Paolo created NYC string Rentals. Our website is new and we are currently developing it, please come back soon, as you will see more improvements on a day to day
