Can it handle violin rentals for students with size upgrades?

Yes. Track the size (1/16 through 4/4), and when the student sizes up, swap the instrument on the rental in two clicks — same contract, new instrument, new condition photos.

Does it track maker, year, and provenance?

Yes. Each violin, viola, cello, or bow carries maker, year, country, certificate of authenticity, and provenance notes on its card.

Can my luthier log bench work against each instrument?

Yes. The repair workbench records setups, sound-post adjustments, peg work, bow rehairs, and every visit's notes — visible on the instrument's history forever.

Student rentals that size up cleanly

When the 1/2 violin gets handed back and the 3/4 goes out, the rental keeps its history — same student, same parent, same school — and the old instrument returns to stock with full condition notes.

Year-end return schedule per school

Bench work, logged for life

Every sound-post adjustment, peg fit, bridge cut, and bow rehair is logged against the instrument. When the cello comes back in 2030, your luthier sees everything that's been done to it.

Bows tracked as first-class instruments

Bows get their own cards with maker, weight, hair condition, and rehair history — not buried as an accessory line on a sale.
