Domenico Dragonetti Instruments

Rentals

Start small. Grow into the right size.

Renting is the gentlest way to start. Pay monthly, swap sizes as your child grows, and return whenever you like.

Choose your rental

Violins are measured in fractional sizes.

Recurring rental, cancel any time: billed monthly or every 3 months, refundable deposit once at start. The first 3 months of rental fees are credited toward a future instrument purchase — no expiry once earned. Cancel by emailing music@stringsembassy.com.au.

Purchase & trade-in: when you buy an instrument through the Domenico Dragonetti program, you can trade it back in later when upsizing or upgrading — its value goes straight toward your next instrument.

Best price — or double your money back

Find a better deal on a comparable, properly set-up instrument and we will refund you in full and pay you double the difference. Simply send us the competing offer within 14 days of your payment.
