String Instrument Props
Some productions need the visual presence of a string instrument rather than a playable performance instrument. Boulevard Carroll provides Violin Prop Rentals for film, television, theater, photo shoots, and staged production use. These violins are supplied specifically as props and should be requested separately from playable instruments.
For prop requirements outside the string category, visit Stage Instrument Props.
What to Include in Your String Rental Request
A clear advance gives the Boulevard Carroll team the information needed to review the request and identify the appropriate inventory. When available, include:
- The instrument list or production rider
- Performance, rehearsal, recording, or production dates
- Venue or production location
- Specific models, sizes, or instrument requirements requested by the player or musical team
- Intended use when requesting a performance instrument versus a prop
- The rest of the backline rider when strings are part of a larger order
Providing the complete request also gives the team a clearer view of how the instruments fit into the rest of the production.
String Instruments as Part of a Larger Backline Package
String rentals are often one part of a broader stage or touring package. If the production also requires amplifiers, drums, keyboards, pianos, percussion, or other stage equipment, send the full rider rather than separating each category into individual requests.
Sending the complete rider gives Boulevard Carroll the context to review the string instruments alongside the rest of the backline requirements.
