Cello Rental

Cello Rental

Full Size Cellos

Our cello rental scheme allows you to try out the instrument for a minimum of 3 months. Within that time if you decide to purchase a cello you receive your rental payments back off the price to purchase (up to £75 off.) We keep a range of full-size cellos in stock and you can purchase your rental instrument or upgrade. Full size cellos are available for £30 per month.

Student Cello Rental

Our student cello rental scheme enables your child to play on a well set-up cello, at a very moderate monthly cost. As your child grows, the cello can easily be exchanged for a larger size at any time.

We are specialists in this field, and currently have over 300 cellos out on rental.

The outfit is properly set-up in our workshop, with a fitted bridge, 4 string adjusters, a set of Dogal strings (or similar), together with a padded cover and bow.

The rental fee for smaller cellos (1/10-3/4 size) is only £17 per calendar month. The price includes our "peace of mind" cover, which covers you for loss or damage. Cellos from 1/10th size up to full-size can be rented.

Full size cellos are available for £30 per month.
