We went in to rent a viola, and they make the whole process of renting musical instruments seamless. They seem great with kids. Highly recommend!

Best shop! We went to this shop with the intention of renting a violin for a weekend of wedding music. When we returned the violin, the owner said it’s free of charge and gave us his best wishes. We cannot believe how generous they are! Thank you!!
