mation.] A collection of instruments made by violin-making students of the North Bennet Street School provides a rare opportunity to own an entirely hand-crafted instrument for a very affordable price. Rentals:
We rent violins, violas and cellos for beginning and advanced students. McCarten personally inspects and sets up each instrument before it is rented. In addition to being expertly set up, every rental instrument is delivered with high quality strings, a suitable bow, a case and rosin. Every rental builds equity which can be used later to purchase an instrument from the shop. Setup and Tonal Adjustments:
We offer expert set-up and tonal adjustment to suit every player's requirements. Repair and Restoration:
If your instrument is damaged or just time-worn, we provide free repair estimates. All repairs and restorations are done expertly and quickly. Bows and Accessories:
We carry a variety of bows for sale. The shop performs bow rehairing services at reasonable prices and with quick turn-around. We also stock those accessories most often needed by professional and student musicians.
