Questions & Answers
Q; Does it cost anything to join Marietta Orchestra?
​
A: No, It does not cost anything to join the orchestra! We have excellent quality instruments that students may borrow for the school year. Students must show evidence that they know how to properly care for the instruments as they are very valuable and fragile. Parents must sign a contract in order for students to bring home instruments from school.
Q: What if we want to purchase our own instrument from a wholesale club or online
for less than $100?
A: I would not recommend purchasing these violins. The instruments are difficult to tune and stay in tune. They do not have a nice sound when played and they will require repairs to the bridge, fingerboard, and bow which can be costly
​
Q: Can you recommend a place where we can rent to own an instrument?
A: There are several reputable companies that rent instruments. We are in partnership with Mandarin Strings which is a local company in Marietta. They have instruments of all sizes at reasonable prices and have excellent customer service. You can click here to go to their webpage.
