This service allows us to prepare instruments in your price range and have them ready for you to try.

We can let you know in advance who will be working with you. Prepare by communicating with them about the qualities that you are looking for. If you are planning on trying instruments from several shops we recommend bringing your top choices in to compare with with Mount Airy Violin instruments.

If your desired date is not available, call us and we'll do our best to fit you in.

Rentals take about a 30-45 minutes. We recommend that the player come too, for sizing and to learn how to take care of their instrument. Violin, Viola and Cello rentals starting at $23 per month. Mid-level, Advanced and Short Term Rentals are also available. See our rental page at www.mountairyviolins.com for more info.

Exchange your instrument for the next size up.

This service has an additional $5 charge. (If you have a second bow to be rehaired please make a second appointment right after your first. Each bow can take up to 1 hour to rehair.)

Reserve time for us to go over your instrument and/or bow and be given a verbal estimate.

If you'd like a detailed written estimate you will be charged an estimate fee of $40 which will be credited towards the repair.

Duration: 15-45 minutes. Schedule time with a luthier or bowmaker to fix a problem while you are present. Adjustments are billed in 15 minute increments at our hourly rate of $80.
