Voices from my renters

“Everything went perfectly! Wonderful instruments and great service.”

“Can I give six stars?”

My husband wanted to practice cello during our week-long stay in Berlin so his practice wouldn’t be interrupted. Daniel was able to accommodate him on such short notice. The cellos he tried sounded so colourful and lively — each one with its own unique personality. We’re now going to upgrade the cello when we return to California. Daniel really tries to support the global music community. He was so kind and gracious — a truly good person.

I had a wonderful experience with Daniel’s cello rental. As a beginner, it wasn’t easy to find the right instrument size, and I didn’t want to buy one before knowing what suited me. Daniel gave me excellent advice and recommended a 7/8 cello that fit me perfectly. The instrument sounded beautiful, and the whole rental process was smooth, simple and very accommodating.

I rented a wonderful-sounding cello from Daniel and was very satisfied. Great service, perfect advice, fast personal delivery. If I want to rent a cello again, I’ll definitely turn to him — he’ll surely have something fitting for me again.

I had an extraordinary experience renting a cello through Daniel Hoffmann. His hospitality and willingness to accommodate my needs were greatly appreciated. He even arranged transport of the cello, which was incredibly convenient. It was a true pleasure to play such a beautifully crafted instrument paired with a fantastic bow. The case was thoughtfully equipped with high-quality rosin, a cleaning cloth, and pencils. I couldn’t have wished for a better rental experience. Thank you!

Daniel Hoffmann’s cello rental is fantastic! We came from Spain and I wanted my daughter to take cello lessons in Berlin, and we were afraid to bring our own cello on the plane — so we looked for a cello rental. Daniel is charming, kind and super professional. He let us choose the cello and bow, and the rental price included case, rosin and more. The cello we rented was exceptional, far higher quality than our own, with a “brilliant” sound — and the price was very reasonable. Thank you for your kindness and trust, Daniel! We hope to return to Berlin soon and will definitely rent a cello from you again. I can absolutely recommend it!

I found the cello rental online and immediately fell in love with one of the instruments. Now it’s with me and I can play it at home. For me as a beginner, it’s an entirely new experience to learn on such a beautiful and resonant instrument. A wonderful idea! I hope others will find their dream cello here too.

“Simply wonderful!”

I rented a beautiful cello last summer and everything went smoothly. Very good service, warm and professional at the same time. Highly recommended — I’d do it again anytime.

Laura P. · January 2022

Absolutely recommendable, thanks to competent and friendly advice when choosing the cellos. The instruments are wonderful in sound and appearance. The short-term rental option is ideal — especially great for children, as it allows ‘just trying it out’ without having to commit long-term and expensively. The cellos are available in all sizes, from the smallest child’s cello to the adult size. Everything is included in the rental package — bow and transport case as well — so you can start straight away. A wonderful all-inclusive package.

Very reliable, very personal and at the same time professional. The instruments are of high quality. Many thanks for the excellent service.
