Should I Rent Or Buy?

“Should I rent or Buy”?  This is question we’re asked often. If you know for sure you’re going to stick with your instrument, then buying may be the best bet.  But for many who’ve never played before, renting would be recommended.

Just starting out?

First time your little one is taking lessons?

Not sure about what instrument to start with?

 

 

Here are a few reasons to rent first:

 

  1. If you or your little one changes their mind about the instrument, you wont be stuck with the instrument
  2. And you won’t be out a ton of money when you try to sell the instrument or have the burden of trying to get rid of it.

 

“But what about all the money that will be spent on renting?”

 

Many places including Groove Academy, offer rental programs where 100% of the rental can go towards the purchase if you decide to do so.

 

How Does This Benefit You?

If you or your little one decides that “piano” wasn’t the right instrument, (and now you want to try guitar), you’re only out the rental fee and not the cost of the instrument, (which is generally far less).

 

Rent for the first 6 months.
Then, if all is going well and you’re wanting to continue, look at buying your current rental instrument,  or upgrade to a new or used instrument.

What do rental fees start at?

Generally speaking, our rental fees start at $13.50/mth.
Depending factors would be if the instrument is new or used, and the level of the instrument.  If the instrument is a beginner line violin, it would be far less than an intermediate/pro used violin.
Other factors would be additional equipment.  Like, piano bench for keyboard rentals.  Or if renting an electric guitar, the type of amp you would want to rent or if you would just choose an acoustic guitar.

Drum set rental would of course be more.  Our drum set rentals start at $35/mth and this includes a full 5pce drum set with cymbals.
