Should You Buy an Instrument for Your Child or Rent it First?
Submitted by admin on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 22:39
Key Tips:
* Renting an instrument may be better in the short term if you are unsure of your child’s level of interest in his musical education.
* Once your child has shown long-term interest in his music lessons, it will be a sound investment to purchase a quality instrument.
* Used instruments may offer a bargain alternative to purchasing brand new ones, and provide a good reason to buy instead of rent.
A musical education can be a most rewarding thing for a young, impressionable child. It develops hand-eye coordination and rhythm, teaches the child the values of discipline and practice, and builds confidence in both personal skill and public performance. However, some parents, keenly aware of the short attention spans inherent in children, have a reasonable fear that their investment in their child’s musical future, which normally consists of a fairly expensive instrument, will end up collecting dust in a closet somewhere, never to emerge. Other parents, projecting a long and fruitful collaboration between their child and his instrument, calculate that a rental would be a waste of money, and prefer an outright purchase of a new or used item for the long-term savings it will bring. The right decision, to rent or to buy, really depends on the circumstances. Fortunately, there are many flexible options for the uncertain parent of a future musical prodigy, which will make that decision much easier.
Playing the Rent
In most instances, when your child is starting out with his lessons and you aren’t sure whether or not he’ll take to them, a rental would be the wiser choice. The temptation to purchase a substandard instrument to save money, which will give your child a hard time and impair his learning, always looms overhead. Even if you do pour a large hunk of cash into a quality product, your child may tire of the instrument after a few months, leaving you with a rather costly, useless trinket. Most rental services offer intervals of three, six and nine months, and the instruments that you rent will at least be satisfactory for your child’s music educational needs. Many reputable stores also provide a rent-to-own option in the event that your child decides to pursue his lessons seriously, allowing you to purchase the instrument outright with credit for the rental payments you have already made. There are also plenty of decent mail order online rental stores that can ship an instrument to you online for you to lease. For your own protection and savings, do your homework with regard to the rental costs versus the costs of a new instrument that will pass the standards set by your child’s music teacher, so that the short-term rental costs remain far more economical than simply buying an adequate instrument.
A Sound Purchase
Once your child has demonstrated a keen, long-lasting interest in learning a particular instrument and taking advanced lessons, you should seriously consider finally buying him a fine example of the instrument that he prefers, as he will most probably be playing his money’s worth out of it. At this juncture, rental is simply no longer a cost-effective option.
Used instruments, if properly maintained and tuned up, are a viable alternative to brand new products, as they can be purchased for far less without any noticeable drop in quality. This is particularly true for instruments that are less than full adult size, which still function well, except that their owners have outgrown them. If you can find one of these at a real bargain, the risk that your child tires of the instrument within a matter of months will certainly be offset by the substantially slashed price that you paid for an excellent musical device. In any event, there is always the option to re-sell the instrument after you have repaired any deterioration due to normal wear and tear.
