A Letter from the Midwest String Rentals President
Dear String Players, Teachers and Parents:
Greetings and Happy Winter from the Stradivari Music & Arts
Center, 30 East Adams Street, the home of some of Chicago's most dynamic performing groups and music education organizations.
The Midwest String Rentals mission to offer the highest quality string instruments for rent in the Chicago area at affordable prices, is stronger than ever. There is a lot that sets MSR apart from other string instrument rental companies:
- We offer consistently high quality violins, violas and cellos. Even though they cost the company more, we buy only the highest quality instruments. We will not compromise when it comes to delivering quality and functionality to our customers!
- Our full time professional shop sets up and maintains our instruments in-house to the highest standards, so our instruments look and sound great and give students the best chance at success in their musical studies.
- The sales staff includes professional string players and teachers. Drawing on the expertise of our sales staff and repair staff, we can answer virtually any question a string player (or parent of a budding string player) might have.
- Our rental rates are affordable and we offer a liberal equity-building program against future purchases.
- We maintain an extensive teacher referral network all over the Chicago area.
Midwest String Rentals is there for those who want rental violins, violas, and cellos that consistently look good, function at a high level, and give a student the best possible chance for success in playing a string instrument. We enjoy what we do, are proud of what we offer, and are eager to meet all of you whenever you come in.
