Frequently Asked Questions at Atlanta Strings

Every Atlanta Strings rental includes a properly sized instrument (violin, viola, cello, or bass), bow, rosin, and a durable case. All instruments are set up by our team of degreed string specialists, ensuring they meet educator standards for classroom use throughout Gwinnett County and surrounding areas. Our rentals are teacher-approved and maintained to professional standards, so students are ready to participate in their school orchestra programs from day one. We offer both standard and rent-to-own options, making it easy to upgrade as your student grows.

Atlanta Strings’ rent-to-own program allows 100% of your monthly rental payments to be applied directly toward the purchase price of your instrument. This means every payment brings you closer to ownership without extra fees or hidden costs. If your student needs a larger instrument as they grow, you receive full store credit for any upsizing during the rental period. This flexible approach ensures families across Lawrenceville, Duluth, Suwanee, and the greater Gwinnett area can invest confidently in their musical journey.

If your instrument is damaged or lost, contact Atlanta Strings right away. We offer an optional loss or damage Wwaiver which covers many types of accidental loss and replacement, although it does not include broken strings or bow rehairing. Our team, all with string performance backgrounds, will guide you through next steps for repairs or replacement, minimizing disruption to your student’s music education. For Augusta-area clients, our direct-to-teacher delivery ensures quick classroom readiness even in emergency situations.
