Small Instruments Make a Big Difference!

As SVYS expands our Starter Strings programs, we would like to make fractional-sized violins, cellos, violas, and basses available to the new young students via a rental plan.

Our grade-school students need a smaller-than-full-sized instrument for a proper fit. We presently own several small instruments, but the need is greater than we can supply. If we have these instruments on hand at the time of registration we have found that families are more likely to enroll their students in the Starter Strings program.

If you can help SVYS acquire one of these instruments, please contact the SVYS office. A donation form can be downloaded here. Your instrument will remain in the SVYS inventory for years, touching many hands as each new class of Starter Strings begins its study!

Here are some examples of fractional-sized string instruments:

Violin sets, inculding instrument, case, and bow start at $150.00.
Viola sets, inculding instrument, case, and bow start at $265.00.
Cello sets, inculding instrument, case, and bow start at $550.00.
Bass sets, inculding instrument, case, and bow start at $1,000.00.

Thank you for visiting the SVYS site. If you have any questions or comments, please contact the orchestra manager.
