Which instrument do I need?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

We carry a range of student instruments, suitable for complete beginner, improving, intermediate and advanced students.<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

Which size do I need?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

Often your teacher will let you know the size of instrument you need.\u00a0 If not, bring your child to the shop and we can measure their arm length and advise what will be best for them.<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

What if I don\u2019t get on with it?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

Renting an instrument means you are only making a monthly payment.\u00a0 This means that if you decide it\u2019s not for you, you can return the instrument.\u00a0 If you fall in love with playing the instrument, then you know it\u2019s time to buy your own.<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

What do we do if your child grows?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

When dealing with younger students, we are aware that they will grow!\u00a0 When it\u2019s time to change up to a bigger instrument, just contact us and we\u2019ll get the next size ready for you to swap.\u00a0 Usually the cost remains the same unless you\u2019ve changed to a much better quality instrument.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What is a set up?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

When string instruments arrive with us, we spend a few hours on each one checking it works at its best and is ready to play. This includes carving the bridge and bridge feet so that they fit perfectly. We also check the string height (action) so you don\u2019t have to push down too much to create the sound. Finally we make sure the intonation is right, so the instrument is in tune with itself.<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

The teacher has recommended this\u2026 what does it mean?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

Teachers sometimes recommend specific brands or makes of instrument. We will try to find some that the teacher is happy with or an equivalent. Often we allow students to take instruments to their lesson so that they know the teacher is 100% happy.<\/p>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

What does the instrument come with?<\/h3>\n

[vc_empty_space height=”15px”]<\/p>\n

Usually instrument prices cover the instrument only. A case, accessories or bow are all extra. Some beginner instruments come as a package with everything you\u2019ll need. When renting, we make sure you have everything you need included in the rental price.<\/p>\n
