What's on the wall
“In the past they have let me us industrial cleaner on my bass to get the incredibly sticky rosin off the varnish which was so sweet of them.”
“As our child grew, we were able to come in at any time to swap for a larger size instrument or for minor repairs - at no cost.”
“I was helped by a lady who was very accommodating and helping me test try a bunch of violins when I wanted to rent one for my lessons.”
“Beautiful shop with lots of violins, cellos and even a mandolin (I just saw one).”
“I came in to rent a violin as an adult beginner and i was treated to expert service and pleasantly persuaded to rent a viola instead.”

From the reviews
Over the years, we have rented two different instruments (a violin and a cello) from Bischofberger. In both cases, the tone of these "student quality" instruments was well above that of a typical student instrument.
Beautiful shop with lots of violins, cellos and even a mandolin (I just saw one). I was helped by a lady who was very accommodating and helping me test try a bunch of violins when I wanted to rent one for my lessons.
Ever wanted to learn how to play a violin, viola or cello? This is the place to begin! The prices are about average to market, but the quality of the instruments is extraordinary. The owner is an expert violin builder with many years of experience.
My instructor suggested this place and I rented a violin for 3 months from here. The staff was very patient and helpful in guiding me with all the rental process. I am newbie violin learner and did not know what all supporting accessories I would require.
