Renting a violin

Forte Violen is specialized in the rental of hand-built atelier and master instruments. As a good violin is expensive, Forte Violen offers the possibility to rent the violin of your choice. This is simple. You choose a violin from our range and pay rent each month. We carry out maintenance. Violins with a price up to 2000 euros are insured. For violins worth more than 2000 euros, you must insure the violin yourself. Replacing strings is at your expense. See below the details for renting a violin. The rental price of the different violins can be found in the description of the violin. The violins can be tried out in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem.

• For the range and prices see the page violins and the description of the violin

• Dorfler bow, case and shoulder rest included in rental price

• Insurance included for violins up to 2000 euros

• Flexible, can be canceled per month (minimum rental period is 1 month)

• Easy, maintenance included

• If you buy the violin you get a discount (first 6 months of paid rent)

Note: Renting an instrument or bow is only possible within the Netherlands. For shipment outside the Netherlands the instrument must be purchased. Our 30-day test period gives you the opportunity to try out the violin and, if you are not completely satisfied, return the violin.

Hire purchase?

The purchase price of a good violin is quite an investment. Since violinists regularly ask us about the possibilities of hire purchase, we also offer this option. After a down payment (20% of the purchase price), you pay the violin in 24 monthly installments (3.5% of the purchase price). After 2 years, the violin is yours and you will have paid a total of 104% of the purchase price.

Below is an example calculation of a violin worth 2000 euros.

• 1st month 20%: 400,-

• months 1 to 24 3.5%: 70.00 each month

• Total paid: 2080,-

Bow rental

Renting and hire purchase of a bow is also possible. You will find the rental price for each bow in the details.
