Educators agree that playing a "good quality" piano gives students a much better opportunity for success. Understandably, many parents are reluctant to make an investment in a fine instrument until they have a reasonable expectation that their children will proceed with lessons and have a positive musical experience. It is a "Catch 22" situation. Our rental program is designed specifically to address this dilemma.
Every piano in the Gallery is available for rent. We feature seasonal and student rental program, with student rental being most economical. Student rental rates start as low as $69 per month. Like most reputable music teachers, we do not recommend portable keyboards for beginning students. The drop out rate is very high for beginners who practice on portable keyboards. (In general, it costs less to rent a good piano than it costs to buy a cheap keyboard).
Our program is very simple: Select a piano that fits your quality, price and furniture requirements. You will be charged for first month's rental fee, delivery and a security deposit equal to one month's rent and the return delivery charge. Initial tuning is included.
You can keep the piano for as long as you like and you can return the piano at any time. Monthly rental fees are pro-rated if you return the piano mid-month.
If you decide to purchase the piano, your first six rental payments and security deposit apply toward our Absolutely Lowest Guarenteed Price. Even if you select a different piano, all of your payments still apply. If you elect to purchase the piano on an installment plan, your rental payments and security deposit will be credited as a down payment. Most clients find the installment payment is slightly lower than their rental payment.
As you can see, our program is very straight-forward. If lessons work out and you decide to purchase the piano, the rental will have cost you nothing. If things don't work out, you can return the piano, but you will have the peace of mind of knowing you gave your child the greatest possible opportunity for success.
Disclaimer: Rental pianos are subject to stock availability. We require seven days notice to pick up returned pianos. If you choose to purchase a different piano than the one you rent, you will have an additional delivery expense. It is a good idea to rent the piano you think you would like to own!
