Student Series
Instrument Rental Programme
Venus Student Series instruments available on flexible rental terms for schools, local authority music services, and families across the UK. All instruments are set up and ready to play before dispatch.
How it works
Simple from start to finish.
Choose your instrument
Select from the full Venus Student Series — violin, viola, cello, or double bass — in the size that matches the student. We can advise on sizing if needed.
Set up your rental account
Schools and music services open a trade account. Individual families enquire through your child's teacher or music service. All instruments are dispatched set up and ready to play.
Play and progress
Rent month-to-month or by term. If the student needs a different size as they grow, we arrange a straightforward swap — no penalty, no hassle.
Buy when you're ready
Rental payments made on the same model can be offset against a purchase price, making the step to ownership easy and fair.
Available instruments

Rental is available across the full Venus Student Series. Every instrument is from the same consistent, workshop-checked range available for purchase.
