Beginner Student Violins

Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality instrument is the key to a successful experience.

Meyer Music offers quality student-level violins as rent-to-own, matching teacher preferences with free accessories including the school book and music stand. All accumulated rental credit transfers to larger sizes and higher levels as players grow in size and skill.

Step-Up Violins

As your player progresses and encounters more challenging music, their violin should match their growing skills.

Their student-level violin was a great start to their musical journey and “stepping up” will take them even further!

Compared to student level violins which are designed to be solid and durable, Step-Up violins are made of high-end materials for enhanced tone and include special features, such as upgraded bows and strings for extended range and enhanced control.
