Instrument Rentals
Terra Nova Violins’ rental program provides students of all ages with high-quality instruments at affordable monthly rates!
First Time Rentals
Starting a new rental contract is fast and easy! If you are ready to rent, please reach out to us via phone call, or email us at info@terranovaviolins.com. Let us know which of our locations you will be renting from (Austin or San Antonio), which instrument you would like to rent, what size you need, and which rental tier you would prefer. If you don’t know what size instrument you will need, we are happy to measure you or your child at the shop for the perfect size. If you are sending us an email, please format your subject line as follows: “Your Name - New Rental Contract”.
When you visit the shop to pick up your instrument, we will complete your contract and payment information. You will need to provide your Texas government-issued photo ID and a debit/credit card to complete the contract. If you do not have a valid photo ID from the state of Texas, we will need documentation verifying Texas residency (utility bill, lease agreement, etc). The name and address on the rental agreement must match the name and address on the ID and credit card you provide. If you are not a Texas resident, please contact us at the store location you plan to rent from.
At the time of your rental, you will owe a one-month’s refundable deposit, a pro-rated rental rate for the remainder of the month, and the next two months of rent. Once the first two months have passed, you will be automatically charged on midnight before the 1st of each month.
Each rental outfit includes the instrument, a case, a bow, and rosin. If you need additional supplies, we offer a variety of accessories sold separately- violinists and violists typically require a shoulder rest or sponge, cellists and bassists usually need a rock stop. All string players will need a cleaning cloth and a music stand. If you are unsure which supplies you may need, your teacher will be able to make appropriate suggestions, or you can give us a call for recommendations. Many of our accessories are on our website, so feel free to browse our selection online.
Rental Exchanges
If you need to exchange your instrument for a larger size or a higher rental tier, our exchange process is quick and easy! Please give us a call before visiting so we can make sure we have what you need in stock and temporarily set it aside for you. Once you arrive at the shop to make the exchange, please make sure all of you or your child’s personal items have been removed from the instrument you are returning.
