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.
