Rememer this post? The one where I whined about fugue states and not having a piano?

Well, the other night I went surfing around the net while taking a break from my PHP homework, looking for companies from whom I could rent a piano. I found a couple of companies in the area (other than Sherman Clay/Moe's) which I subsequently sent email to inquiring about prices and whatnot. I heard from one company immediately; the other, Classic Pianos, I didn't hear from at all, but because I'd heard good things about them I gave them a call this afternoon.

I talked to the guy for quite a while and based on my conversation with him, it's starting to sound like purchasing a piano might be a better move for me than renting. For one thing, I'll end up paying only slightly more per month by buying the instrument, but I'll get a better piano that way. For another, they have a lifetime upgrade policy, which allows you to trade in your piano for the full price you paid for it towards the purchase of a better instrument.

So I'm in a bit of a quandry. I have an appointment and then pick up Rennie tomorrow so I'm thinking I may head over there Sunday afternoon to play a few instruments and see what they've got. I've got no reason to rush other than that I'd love to have the thing sooner rather than later.

But first things first: I need to see how much this business with Rennie is going to set me back. Thank goodness for savings accounts!! I just wish I had more in mine!
