To Rent or Purchase a Piano

In a down economy, you may be looking for ways to shave costs, especially large ticket purchases like a piano or digital piano.  Renting a piano or digital piano can be a good idea in some cases, while it is a much better plan to purchase in others.  We will take a look at some circumstances for both.  

Renting makes the most sense if you have a child who you are not sure how interested that they will be in playing the piano after six months of lessons.  If they stay interested, then it is clearly a better move to purchase at that point.  We usually recommend going with a good upright or baby grand if your child shows sustained interest.  

Many people do not know that they can rent a digital piano, but this is a very good option for college students, people who are in the country temporarily, or those who are hesitant to make a large scale purchase until they know they won't be moving for a while.  

Renting also buys you time to make an informed purchase while your child's skills continue to bloom.  We recommend Yamaha, Kawai, or Samick as a good brand to take you or your child to the next level.
