We take pride in our superior quality rental instruments. Each one has been set-up by our luthiers with high-grade bridges, pegs, and strings. Upgrades are available for advancing players.  If the player is just beginning lessons, we recommend you rent an instrument first, before investing in one to own.  Austin’s specializes in quality rental instruments in all sizes to accommodate every age.
