Stringed Instrument Sales and Rentals

Tiller Strings specializes in helping you find the right instrument and servicing through collaborating with each customer on a unique and personal basis.

Renting vs. Buying

Renting gives you the flexibility of having a low initial investment while accruing rental credit toward the purchase of an instrument. Unsure whether to rent or buy? Talk to your teacher, or contact Megan for advice.

Rentals

Tiller Strings works closely with strings teachers in the area to offer their preferred, high quality student and advancing instruments as rentals.  Rental instruments include violins, violas, cellos, st guitars, mandolins, and banjos.  All sizes are available. Contact us to set up a rental agreement with all the details you’ll need to know about renting an instrument.

Sales

Violins, Violas, Cellos, String Basses & Bows

Instruments are carefully chosen and range in quality and craftsmanship from “student” to “workshop” (for the most advanced musicians). New and used options available; hand built by luthiers in America and around the world.

Trade-Ins

You may trade in your Tiller Strings instrument for credit toward an instrument of equal or greater value (ideal for moving to a larger size or upgrading to a more advanced instrument).

Consignment
