Medford, OR (PRWEB) August 28, 2010 – Musician’s Friend, music gear retailer, recently compared costs of renting versus buying musical instruments and found that people usually saved more money purchasing their back-to-school instruments outright and were more satisfied overall with the instrument’s quality. Several factors led to this conclusion.

1. The compromised condition of the rented musical instrument. Rental companies often won’t disclose how many times the instrument has been rented and when rental instruments are well used, the sound often suffers. Since buying musical instruments ensure the item is in mint condition, the tone is better.

2. The expense of a rental instrument is typically more than a new musical instrument. If a student rents an instrument for per month over a three-year rental period, he or she pays ,800 whereas a number of student musical instruments are available for less than 0. Plus, some companies will buy back used instruments for any reason through programs like Trade In Cash Out Program should a student give up playing.
