The ensemble workshops are open for all instruments and there are no rental instruments offered.
Instrument rental for the entire of the workshops are 30 €. The rental fee has to be paid with your registration fee. If you like to take advantage of the instrument rental please state that on the registration form as the number of instruments for rent are limited.
If you choose the rental option, please be aware, that requesting a rental instrument does not automatically ensure you will in fact receive one. Please wait for your registration confirmation. In case there are no more rental instruments available, we regretfully have to cancel your registration. If the need should arise and you decide after registration and confirmation you do need a rental instrument (example: because yours needs repair) please contact us immediately by email info@nuernberger-borduntage.de.
