    A student will be in France for the summer, near Geneva. Any suggestions for a place that might rent an upright for a couple of months? A student-level instrument is good enough, 3/4 size.

    Thanks in advance.

    hello
    here's a link to a luthier in geneva; I don't know if he has a bass for rent (to rent? sorry for my english) but that would be my best bet.

    (I haven't found an english version of this website, maybe try to contact him directly - phone number and e-mail at the bottom of the page)

    Hi,

    Although the site is in french, he also speaks english, don't hesitate to write to him. He's your best bet in the area, and a great luthier for doublebass.
