All outfits include case, bow with horsehair, four fine tuners, dominant strings, and rosin.

Purchase Option
We allow a full three years lease credit to be applied to the purchase of an instrument. You can select from:
- The one you are currently leasing
- A new instrument
- A fine handmade instrument
Your lease credit must be used when you close your lease. If you purchase an instrument from us and you need to upsize, we will allow 80% percent trade in toward the next size less any damage. This 80% trade-in guarantees your investment and relieves you of the trouble of selling the instrument. This trade-in may also be applied to a fine handmade instrument at 80% credit. Normal wear and tear is accepted.
