[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You end up spending more in rentals than buying.  Buy a cheap one.  [/quote]

Not good advice.  Better to rent a higher quality instrument with insurance. Potential for better sound and better outcome if kid has accident at school with instrument, also, easy to turn in if kid wants to switch[/quote]

We've done both.  Renting was a waste.[/quote]

DP. I feel that renting is safer. Younger kids are not careful with instruments and even if they are, kids around them are not (DD had kids in class that were swordfighting with their bows). You can in fact get a better instrument for considerably less up-front cost with renting than buying, and a better instrument is likely to get your kid to stick with the instrument, longer term. If the child seems committed in a year's time, then invest in a decent beginner instrument.[/quote]

I got the warranty, so when there was an issue, it got replaced with no issue.  Renting you are required to pay if there is damage.  We ended up selling it for a good amount.[/quote]
