Cellos and Basses are typically rented by students from the Jenks Orchestra Program for $35 a semester. A rental form must be signed and returned before a cello or bass can be assigned for “At-Home” use. A secondary “At-School” Cello or Bass will be provided for no extra fee.
Violins and Violas will need to be obtained or rented by individual students and will travel to and from school each day. Not all online purchases are quality instruments! Please contact a director before buying online, or click here for our rental recommendations from local music stores.
