String Instrument Information
Rentals
Many SGSP students rent their first instrument, rather than purchasing it right at the start. I recommend that new students see me to get sized for the appropriate instrument. SGSP has traditionally been a strong supporter of local music businesses. We encourage you to contact the following merchants for your rental needs:
