Rentals

Accessible Quality for Aspiring Musicians

A quality instrument is key to the beginning of every musician’s journey, which is why we believe that providing great rental violins, violas and cellos is one of the most important things we do. We make sure that all rental instruments are high quality, adjusted properly, and receive the same level of attention that our professional playing customers have grown to expect.

All rental outfits include the instrument, a protective case, bow, rosin, and cleaning cloth. Other accessories such as a music stand and shoulder rest are available for purchase but not included.

Your rental payments, excluding tax and insurance, count towards the future purchase of an instrument. See terms and conditions.

Customer Testimonials

  • “I got my bow rehaired and bridge replaced, and Will knew exactly what to do to make my violin sound vibrant and full. He knows what he is doing, and was very easy to stay in contact with. Highly recommend!”

    Kaidan Larson

  • “Will is very knowledgeable and dedicated to making your instrument sound the best it can. I have had a couple of bridge and sound post adjustments from Will, and I have been thrilled at the improvement in tone quality and resonance of my instrument each time. Also does great bow repairs.”

    Sam Jarvis

  • “Will did a fantastic job with my instrument! Great workmanship and fair pricing. Highly recommend you take your instrument to him when it needs work. Also has a pretty awesome inventory of newer and older violins for sale! Thanks Will!”

    Dave Pailet

  • “Will has outfitted both of our daughters with instruments. Our daughters play the viola and the violin in a strings class at school and also take private lessons. Will is super easy to work with and we always get great instruments. He has helped size our children for their instruments and answers all of our questions. We love working with him and recommend Scherer Violins to anyone looking for an instrument!”

    Nicole Knapp-Weber

  • “It is so good to have a trusted luthier to count on with our instruments! Will has both completed repairs and an extensive restoration of an older family instrument. In all of this work Will has worked to clearly explain the work needed and gather input where we had options and shared some great photos of the process. He is knowledgeable in violin history and identification. Will is genuinely excited to work on instruments and his passion clearly translates to a job well done. The shop is committed to offering sustainable options and products made in the USA when available.”

    Travis Kimball

  • “We rented a fiddle from Scherer Violin Shop for a very long time while our eldest daughter learned to play. The fiddle was in excellent condition and they provided such wonderful help with anything we needed. I also play in a local band and our fiddle player has used Scherer Violin Shop for repair work on her performance fiddles. They always came back sounding better than ever AND with a really quick turn around.”

The Violin Shop Community

More than a violin shop, we strive to provide musical resources and connections for Colorado’s strings community. Music is the universal language and through it we can make a better world.
