Why Rent?
-
The Southwest Strings rental program gives you the chance to get an instrument
quickly, at a low initial expense. This is especially important if you are not
sure of your child's long-term interest in playing a stringed instrument.
-
Relieves you of the stress to financially commit to a purchase before being ready.
-
By renting, you can continue upgrading instrument sizes until your child has
reached a size that they will be able to play for an extended period of time.
This is valuable for younger students who may need to upgrade instrument sizes
more than once a year.
Rental instruments can be traded in for larger sizes
as your child grows
Southwest Strings Rental Advantage
The benefits of our rental program are:
-
All rental instruments are professionally adjusted by our in-house luthiers.
-
All outfits include a bow, case and rosin.
-
You may return or exchange an instrument outfit at any time. A return may be
subject to loss of the non-refundable initial payment.
-
We provide telephone customer service during normal business hours if you
encounter any issues with your rental.

A renter's credit program, which means your rental dollars are an
investment!
This exciting component of our rental program allows you to apply the first
five months of your monthly fees towards a stringed instrument purchase.
Using your "Renter's Credit", you may decide to buy your current
rental or upgrade to any other instrument that we carry.
All our rental instruments are professionally setup
to ensure excellent playability and tone
