If you've always wanted a piano or you'd like your children to learn but you're worried about making an investment until you're sure that piano lessons are the right choice, then take advantage of UK Piano’s 'Rent-To-Own' programme. You can rent to buy a good quality digital piano, upright piano, baby grand piano or keyboard that meets your needs.

"The 'Rent-To-Own' programme gives more children an opportunity to learn the piano... Before 'Rent-To-Own' was available, the initial cost of buying the instrument seemed to be the determining factor as to whether they would have a chance or not. I feel that every child should experience the joy of learning the piano" - Graham Howard.

How The Rent-To-Own Programme Works

The advantage of the 'Rent-To-Own' programme is that it allows you immediate access to a good quality piano for a small monthly payment, without a big initial outlay. This means that you're able to try out the piano before committing. Once you've passed the minimum rental period you can continue renting for as long as you wish. You can buy the piano you're hiring at any time. If your piano needs any repairs whilst on rental a technician will come out to fix the problem free of charge.

If you decide to buy your rental piano within the first 6 months, all the rental you've paid will be taken off the original price of the piano. If you buy between 6 and 12 months you'll get 3/4 of what you paid off the price. There's no additional discount available after 12 months.

Piano rental costs range from £25-£95 per month.

• New digital pianos from £40 per month 
• Secondhand digital pianos from £30 per month 
• Secondhand upright pianos from £25 per month 
• Grand pianos from £95 per month

Questions and Comments

Want to ask Graham Howard a question? Send your email to: grahamhoward@ukpianos.co.uk

Dear Graham,

It has been more than a month since I got the piano from UKpiano. I should say, it is in general a pleasant experience. I like it. Now the thing is, as I intended to buy it over several months (rent to buy as I recall)

Dear Graham,

I've been renting a Classenti CDP1 piano from you since mid December. I will
leave the UK on April 15th, and I have decided to use the option of buying
the piano and the piano stool. Even though I will have some Customs headache
in Brazil, I think it will be worth it.

Hi Graham
 
Thank you for your email.
 
I have been reading through your ebook which I am delighted with and has given me some excellent advice and things to think about with choosing a piano.
 
I have been looking at the rent to buy scheme as I think this is a wonderful idea and in the current financial climate a great service for your customers.
 
The piano is for two of us. My friend who is completely new to piano and has just started taking some lessons, and myself. I had lessons as a child but gave up about 30 years ago when I was 12 and have regretted it ever since. I have forgotten most of what I learned and am pretty much starting from scratch.
 
I am drawn to the CDP2. I love the sound of the CDP3 on the demonstration video, but I don't think I can really justify the extra expense at this point until I see how much use it's going to get lol
 
What would your advice be on this?
 
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
 
Kind regards
Andy

Reply/ Hi Andy

The Classenti CDP2 is a good choice. It’s a nice
piano to play on, and would be ideal for you
to get back into playing again.

The CDP3 does have the advantage of a clearer,
slightly richer, more resonant piano sound.

This is due mainly to its larger, forward facing
speakers. Also, in a lesser way its bigger cabinet.

But the key touch is exactly the same on CDP2
and CDP3. Same touch sensitivity levels (5).
Same key weight, and same response.

The CDP2 would probably be the more practical
choice for you.

The CDP3 would only be worth considering if you
want the ‘traditional piano look’. It does look rather
classy in a living room. Especially with its real, hinged
piano lid, front toes, pillars and high gloss finish.
But that’s a personal thing.

Let me know if you would like more information
or to place an order. Tel: 020 8367 2080.

Yours pianistically,

Dear Graham,

I teach piano and would like some help in advising parents purchasing a digital piano for their child. It is something I get asked about quite often but don't really feel qualified to answer. I tend to favour Yamaha- my acoustic piano is a Yamaha and before that I owned a Clavinova. I also recognise that many parents don't have much to spend and are wary if spending too much before they know if their child will enjoy it, practice etc etc.

Scenario 1: new pupil without a piano. Parent wants to buy something very cheap to see how they get on, but wants this to last a couple of years, as even the cheapest digital piano is a big spend for some. I want the child to have something realistic and at the very least touch sensitive. Is a yamaha NP-11 up to the job? (parent is suggesting a yamaha keyboard at around £100 so this is already over their budget)

Scenario 2: child has been learning a year and managing on a very old keyboard. Parents want something better and slightly higher cost is now justified as the child works hard and enjoys it - and does very well considering what he practices on! What's the minimum to get a child, say to Grade 5?

I find this very tricky! I have some pupils practising on very basic keyboards and they do just as well as those with acoustic pianos and seem able to convert to playing on my piano each week. But others who obviously suffer from a poor instrument to practice on. I want my lessons to be affordable, including buying an instrument so any child who is interested can have a go but not to end up with pupils having poor technique either!

Any help appreciated!

Kate

Reply/ Hi Kate

The answer is 'Rent-to-Buy'.

This is very popular amongst parents with young children wanting to play piano.

With the rent-to-own programme they can get a very nice digital piano whilst keeping the payments to a minimum.

If their child shows interest in the piano – then they can purchase the piano and deduct all rental payments from the price.

If the child doesn’t want to continue then they can simply return the piano to us.

The rent-to-own programme allows them to get a good piano that will take their child up to the high piano grades. And it’s a low risk way of getting started.

You can read more about it here:
http://www.ukpianos.co.uk/digital-pianos-for-rent.html

The pianos I recommend are the Classenti CDP1 and CDP2.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

Hello,

I’m looking to rent a piano to use for teaching, as currently I am teaching on a bad electric one. I have been looking at the Boyd upright you have in stock, and think that something like this would be suitable. I’m teaching all grades currently, and I play as well, so I would want something with a decent sound, but where the action isn’t too heavy, and is responsive for younger fingers. I’d be grateful for any advice you can give me on which pianos you think would be suitable.

I would need it delivering to Chester, would this be the same delivery cost?

Thanks

Wendy Silvester

Reply/ Hi Wendy

I don’t recommend the Boyd piano...

Although an attractive looking piano, it has a
heavy touch, and wouldn’t be suitable for
teaching anyone much above grade 4.

The pianos I recommend are:

Squire
Zender
Seeger
Challen

You can see these pianos on this page:
http://www.ukpianos.co.uk/upright-pianos-for-rent.html

Any one of these would be suitable. They
have a nice, medium-weighted responsive
key touch and a good sound.

Delivery to Chester is £65.

Yours pianistically,

Graham Howard

Hi Graham,

Having received your free lessons by email (much appreciated) my interest has
peaked to a point where I want to rent a piano. Your website shows some
pianos but most are rented/sold. Do you have others not shown?

Both my daughter and I (opposite ends of the age scale!) will be learning so
can you make any recommendations or things I should look out for?

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam

We are a bit short on acoustic pianos at the
moment. We had an unexpected surge of interest
at Christmas time ... and we're still trying
to get more stock in.

We do have a Bentley piano available though.

This piano has a medium weight touch, and
a very nice, mellow sound.

It is in a light mahogany colour. It's also
quite compact.

You can read more about it here:
http://ukpianos.co.uk/second-hand-bentley-upright-piano.html

Alternatively you could go for a brand new
upright pianos.

We are lucky enough to be a main dealer for
the Classenti range of uprights. They are
truly outstanding pianos at reasonable prices.

You can get one of these for £75 per month.

The Classenti would be the ideal piano for
your daughter to learn and progress on. It
will take her right up to grade 8 and beyond...

Here's more details:

You can call me on 020 8367 2080 if you
would like more information.

Hi Graham

I am considering buying or renting a digital piano for my nearly 7 year
old who has just started piano lessons. I have seen your reviews and
see that the Yamaha models score best but that you comment against the
Classenti CDP1 that it is a good piano for a beginner with realistic
feel and sound. Could you give me a little guidance on whether the
Yamaha YDP models are any better for a child beginner than this
Classenti one and, if so, why? Are there any other models you would
recommend?

I also would be interested in renting a piano initially and see that the
Classenti is available for rental. Would the Yamaha also be available?
If so, what would the rental fee be?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Suzannah

Reply/ Hi Suzannah

The good Yamaha pianos start from around £1,000.

These are called the 'Clavinova' range.

The models below this are called 'Arius'. These
consist of the YDPS31, YDP141 and YDP161.

But the Yamaha Arius range is very basic. You'd
be far better off with a Classenti in this price range.

The Classenti CDP1 is the piano I recommend for
your 7 year old.

The heavier key weight is the main reason I
recommend the Classenti over the basic Yamahas.

You can read more about the CDP1 here:

I hope you can help! I have been looking at you site and am interested in purchasing the
Classenti CDP1 digital piano in Black Satin. However I note that this model is also available
as part of your rent to own programme?

Do you also include 5 year warranty on the rent to own programme?

All Colours of the Classenti CDP1 are available
on the Rent-to-Own programme.

You also get a 5 year warranty starting the
day you receive your Classenti piano.

Hi, Good morning,

I just moved to London and I found you through the internet and I would like to ask for some advice.

My daughter has been learning piano lessons for two years and she has got Grade II piano playing certificate. I am now planning to rent a piano for her, would you let me know what kind of piano fits her and how much is the monthly rental, roughly? She's 7 years old.

Many thanks in advance. by the way, I live in North Finchley, pls also let me know the delivering cost.

Best regards,

Wu

Grade II piano is quite an achievement for a 7 year old!

The piano I recommend for your daughter is the Classenti.

The Classenti is a great sounding digital piano with a realistic touch...

It has 88 fully weighted, touch sensitive keys (like a real piano),

is compact and easy to move around, has a headphone connection

and comes in a beautiful dark rosewood cabinet.

The rental price is £45 per month. Delivery is £45 each way.

You can call me on 020 8367 2080 if you would like more info.

Yours pianistically,

Hello - I was recently in Skipton and saw a digital piano in a shopping mall. The price was £599 and the hire charge was £17 pcm. I didn't take a note of the make, unfortunately, but it triggered my interest in possibly hiring a digital piano.
 
I have discussed this with my daughter and her partner. He is a very good piano player and my daughter is grade 4. They have an 8 year old who is learning to play the violin and will probably have piano lessons in the future.
 
What do you recommend? We would like the weighting to be similar to an acoustic piano, but think that the availability of headphones would be advantageous. They live in London, by the way.
 
I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Satya

Hiring before committing to buying is a great way to test the water.

The £17 per month seems a little cheap? This was probably a keyboard not a digital piano.

The pianos I recommend (if you can get them on a hire to buy option) are either the Yamaha YDP131 (current model YDP140) or the Yamaha CLP220 (current model CLP320). You should expect to pay anywhere between £45 to £60 per month for a decent digital piano.

Dear Graham,

It has been more than a month since I got the piano from UKpiano. I should say, it is in general a pleasant experience. I like it. Now the thing is, as I intended to buy it over several months (rent to buy as I recall)
