Milo - the first time ya kid gets beat up for playing the violin he'll never touch it again


All kidding aside - both my boys went through it (required as part of musical course) about the same age and my wife rented 'em. One word of caution (Derf might weigh in here) a friend of her's kid damaged a rented instrument and it cost a fortune to repair . . . there may be an "insurance option" that you might consider if your guy is prone that way otherwise just make sure you keep tabs on it.

it depends on the 'shop' you rent from . some offer insurance , some don't ..
if they do offer; it get !! repairs can get really expensive fast ....
and on student violins they aren't really worth repairing .....
