The Benefits of Renting a Piano

1. Affordability Without Compromise

Pianos can be a significant investment. While many customers dream of owning their ideal instrument, the upfront cost can be daunting—especially for beginners or parents unsure of long-term commitment. Renting gives you access to high-quality instruments without the large financial outlay.

You can bring home a piano for an affordable monthly fee, making it easier to start lessons, practice consistently, and explore the joy of music in your own space.

2. Try Before You Buy

One of the standout advantages of our rental program is the option to purchase at any time during your rental. This gives you the opportunity to test the instrument in your home environment—ensuring it fits your lifestyle, sound preferences, and learning goals.

Falling in love with your piano? Great—you can buy it. Want to try something different down the line? You have that option too.

This eliminates buyer’s remorse and gives you confidence in your long-term investment.

3. Perfect for Growing Musicians

Many parents hesitate to buy a piano for their child at the start of their musical journey, unsure if the interest will stick. With our rental program, there's no need to worry—your child can explore piano playing on a high-quality instrument without the pressure of a permanent purchase.

As skills progress, you can either purchase the current piano or upgrade to a more advanced model through a new rental agreement.

This makes the program ideal for students, schools, music teachers, and families looking for long-term flexibility.

4. Low Commitment, High Reward

Not everyone is ready to commit to piano ownership, especially if you’re renting a home, frequently relocating, or just beginning your music education. Renting provides a low-risk entry point into the world of pianos—without long-term obligations or resale hassles.

At the end of your rental period, simply return the instrument if it’s no longer needed. No stress, no strings attached.

5. Access to the Best Brands

Through this rental program, you’re not limited to entry-level instruments. We’ve made nearly our entire inventory of acoustic and digital pianos eligible for rental, including trusted names such as:

C. Bechstein
Yamaha
Roland
Kawai
Casio
Kurzweil
And many more

This means you can rent a beautiful upright or baby grand, or a professional-grade stage piano, knowing you’re getting quality, reliability, and incredible sound.

6. Fast & Easy Application Process

Studio 19 Rentals makes the process simple. Applications can be completed online or in-store, and approval is typically quick. Once approved, your piano can be delivered and set up promptly by our team, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience.

We handle the logistics—you focus on the music.

Who Is the Rental Program For?

This program suits a wide range of customers, including:

Beginners looking to test their interest
Students needing an instrument for home practice
Parents unsure about a child’s long-term musical path
Professional musicians needing flexibility
