Your Student Has Outgrown Their Rental. That's a Good Thing.
Watch Jason explain exactly what to look for in a step-up instrument — and how Day Violins makes the upgrade easy.
3 Reasons This Is the Best Time to Upgrade
Take Home a New Instrument during our in-store summer sale. All Instrument outfits. All price points.
Extra 20% on Your Rental Credit
Every payment you’ve made toward your rental has been building toward this. At Day Violins, we apply your rental credit directly to the purchase of your new instrument — so you’re not starting over. You’re cashing in. Then we add an extra 20% bonus during the sale.
Rental Credits from Other Stores Welcome
Renting from somewhere else? No problem. We welcome rental credits from other music stores — because our goal is to get your student into the right instrument, not to make the process harder than it needs to be. Ask us about your credit eligibility when you book your appointment.
10% Off
Accessories
Every new instrument needs the right setup. During the sale, take 10% off bows, cases, rosin, shoulder rests, strings, and more — so your student leaves with everything they need to play their best from day one.
At Day Violins, we believe the right instrument changes everything.
When a student moves from a rental to a quality step-up instrument, something shifts. Their tone improves, their motivation increases, and practicing stops feeling like a chore. We’ve seen it happen hundreds of times.
That’s why Jason personally selects every instrument in this sale. He plays each one, checks the setup, evaluates the projection and response, and rejects anything that doesn’t meet his standard. If it’s on our floor, he’d recommend it to his own kids.
During the Graduate to Greatness Sale, you’ll find:
- Step-up violins, violas, and cellos at every price point
- Instruments sized for students at every stage
- Expert guidance — no pressure, no guesswork
- Rental credit applied toward your purchase
- 10% off all bows, cases, and accessories
Not sure if your student is ready? Come in and find out. That’s what we’re here for.
Your Rental Payments Have Been Working for You — Here's How to Use Them
When you rent from Day Violins, a portion of every monthly payment builds as credit toward an instrument purchase. Think of it as a layaway plan that runs in reverse — by the time your student is ready to upgrade, you’ve already been paying it off.
How it works:
- Rental credit starts accruing from day one of your rental
- For the first 12 months, 100% of your base monthly payment builds as credit
- After the first 12 months, that decreases to 50%-So long term renters still receive a benefit
- During this sale, we’re adding an extra 20% bonus rental credit on top
Example: A family that has rented for 18 months has already built meaningful credit toward their next instrument before they walk in the door.
Renting From Another Store? Your Credit Is Welcome Here.
We know families don’t always start their rental journey with us and that’s okay. Day Violins accepts rental credits from other music stores* because we’d rather help your student get into a great instrument than make switching stores feel complicated.
Either way, you’re closer to owning than you think.
