Renting a Stringed Instrument

We're very fortunate to have several local shops that have everything you'll need.  Below are listings.  For help selecting the right kind of instrument for your child, please check out this slide show.
​

Please do not purchase any instrument from eBay or any other sites without checking with Mr. Velsey first!
​
If you have any questions about where to get instruments and other supplies, please contact me.  I am more than happy to help you and your family.
