Fiddle Rentals

We have a limited number of fiddles available for rent at and after our workshops and other programs.


Availability & Fees
 

Fiddles are rented on a first come, first serve basis. While we do our best to accommodate all requests, we cannot guarantee availability prior to our workshops and programs. For more information and to rent a fiddle, go to our fiddle rental form.

 

Fiddle Sizes
 

As children grow, they require progressive fiddle sizes to suit their arm length and overall comfort while learning. While age helps to estimate the size a child may need, the best way is to measure their arm length. To do so, hold the child's arm straight out and to the side, and measure from the side of their neck to their wrist. Use this age & measurement chart as a guide.
