Advanced Rental

You can rent an instrument through the website. All orders are completed online before the delivery of the instrument.

The first payment installment is made by bank or credit card before the transfer of the instrument’s possession.

Vuokrasoitin charges the rent monthly in advance for the following month.

You can either pick up your rented instrument from our store in Helsinki or have it shipped to your location anywhere within Finland (Unfortunately, we do not ship basses.).

If you choose to pick up the instrument from the store, we recommend making a reservation online first.

To choose the right size instrument, please refer to our sizing guide available on our website, which will help you determine the appropriate size based on age and arm length measurements.

You can find the sizing guide on every product page. Alternatively, you can book a time using our calendar, and we will help you choose the right size in our shop.

Rental payments accumulate rental credit (rental payment = rental credit), which can be used within 30 days of terminating the rental contract to purchase an instrument from How Violins.

Rental credit can be used to pay for UP TO 50% of the instrument’s purchase price.

Rental credit cannot be used for purchasing bows, cases, electronic instruments, accessories, or shipping costs for instruments. The rental credit is valid for 30 days after the end of the rental agreement, after which it will be forfeited.

We accept payments through major credit and bank cards, including Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, as well as all Finnish payment cards.

Yes, you can extend your rental period for as long as you need the instrument. The rental agreement is valid indefinitely, and you will be charged on a monthly basis.

Yes, you can return your rented instrument early. To initiate the return process, please fill out the form below to notify us of your intention to return the instrument. You can then return the instrument to our store location or ship it back to us.
