How cello hire works

1. Get measuredBook a short fitting so we match the cello to the player's arm length and height — the wrong size slows everything down.

2. Choose your planPay monthly or quarterly, plus a refundable deposit. Billing renews automatically and you can stop at any time.

3. Upsize or buyRental fees can go towards purchasing an instrument, and we accept trade-ins when you upsize or upgrade.
