subject: Rent A Violin Or Buy A Violin – Pros and Cons [print this page] There is a third option, which is to rent a violin and eventually own it if you do decide to keep the instrument. This applies to new violins, and typically you will need to place a deposit which is the value of the instrument. In this scheme, you may opt to rent the instrument for short term basis such as three months. If you do decide to keep the instrument, then your deposit will not be returned to you.
