In the year 2000 The Connecticut School of Music was founded. Shortly after founding the school, we recognized the importance of a rental instrument program that can provide affordable, quality instruments to students. As educators, I am sure you have shared our frustrations of seeing faulty instruments, lack of service, and damage at the hands of small children.
Getting a string instrument for your aspiring musician doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg. Renting a string instrument from RentalInstrument.com is much more affordable than renting from a school program or a local music store, and the instruments you receive are tested and certified by real professional musicians.

In my opinion, the owner of Rental Instrument, LLC, Kenneth Kou, lacks integrity and is extremely selfish. To this day, I an very disappointed with the instrument he sold me. I feel spending thousands of dollars to buy the instrument of your dreams, should be a joyous occasion. He made it a complete nightmare for me. In my opinion, I would look for a different provider.

We recently rented a cello from Rental Instruments for my daughter’s performance in NY. As we live in HK and would be difficult to bring our own cello and we also wanted to find a place that is conveniently picking up and dropping off the instruments as we won’t have a car during our stay in Manhattan and a place not too far from Mid-Town. I googled and found Rental Instruments. And had few emails exchange with them and the overall rental process is pretty straightforward and simple. When we got our first cello, my daughter didn’t quite like it and they were nice to allow us to swap and send over another cello. Return is easy by dropping off at a security desk at a residential apartment in NYC. I would recommend this place for anyone who would like to rent instruments while traveling to NYC. Their staff is professional and responsive and the quality and sound of their instruments are good.
