RENTALS
Quick Summary
The Homestead Strings 48-month rent-to-own plan is a fantastic way to get young (or young-at-heart) students started with a high quality instrument that will serve them well on their musical journey. Within the 48 months, you can pay off or return.
Instruments are individually adjusted by Homestead Strings to exacting standards for easy bow response, comfortable playing, and clear, warm sound. Each instrument is as unique as each new player, and receives a set up that brings out its best.
What do I get?
You get the instrument, case, bow, rosin, and shoulder rest or rock stop. Everything comes set up and ready to go. Bows are rosined, instruments are tuned and taped, and shoulder rests are adjusted to fit, which saves your teacher a lot of time at the start of the year and in those critical first lessons. Insurance and maintenance is included in the price.
Homestead Strings offers an optional one-time school delivery (State College and Bellefonte Districts) to help your busy back-to-school schedule.
