As a piano store and education center we face a dilemma with parents everyday: Parents don't want to invest in a piano UNTIL they know their child will stick with piano lessons! The teachers say, but if you don't have a good piano I cannot get your child to the point of loving and enjoying piano!
So we created a program to help parents, students, and teachers in the Austin and surrounding area all have a successful experience.
This is a high quality digital piano that will not hold back your child's pianistic capabilities. This piano has 88 keys, a hammer weighted action, touch sensitive, highly expressive, easy to use, bench, Bluetooth interface for music apps that help piano practice, etc. Yes we have less expensive digital pianos, but keep in mind that not all key actions feel the same and not all digital pianos have the same quality of sound, much less the virtually infinite levels of expressive key touch that the HP-702 has. As the old adage says: You still get what you pay for.
$125 includes local delivery, assembly of the piano, first month's use of the piano, and pre-paid pickup fee (all goes toward the purchase). You can continue to rent it for $59 per month thereafter. If at anytime within the first 6 months you see that your child might actually stick with piano, you can and apply everything you've paid us toward the purchase of this piano or ANY other piano (acoustic, digital, portable, etc.) that we sell. This plan is essentially providing you a decent quality loaner piano while you set aside money in a savings account giving you time to see how your child does. There is no interest, no hidden fees, it's plain and simple. We believe that with a decent instrument, most kids will be successful. ADDED BONUS: mention this ad and we will take $300 of the price of a new HP702 as listed on our website.
FAQ's
*Do we have to pay a fee to return it? No. The initial $125 fee includes the delivery, first months rent, and pickup.
*We can return it at any time? Yes. There is no commitment past the first $125.
*Is there an interest fee? The first 6 months is interest free.
*Do we have to purchase the one you sent out? No, most customers do purchase the piano we sent out (that's why we chose the most popular model), a few customers come in and pick a different piano to purchase, and some return it because their child lost interest.
*So can we really apply 100% of what we paid at anytime within the first 6 months toward any piano you sell like the lower cost Yamaha P125, or the Roland FP-30X, or even one of your gently used Yamaha U1's uprights? Yes. You may apply it toward any piano we sell as long as it's within the first 6 months.
*Is there ever interest? Well at some point we have to be realistic. For the one in ten customers that don't want to return the piano after 6 months and don't want to purchase any piano from us within 6 months, you have the option to continue renting as long as you want to for the $59 per month for as long as you want. Half of each payment will accumulate toward the piano you are renting. Again, 90% of our customers don't get to this point. This is only for the few that feel like their child is going to quit at some point and this allows you to take it month-to-month for a nominal fee. We also have low interest and no interest financing programs with approved credit.
*What if we live out of town? We offer this for customers that live within about a 45 mile radius of our store.
*Why is this program for students only? Because it is specifically designed for parents since they cannot possibly know how their child will react to piano lessons. We have similar plans for adults and non-students. Give us a call to discuss.
