Merriam Piano Store is proud to offer the GTA’s most comprehensive and affordable rent-to-buy
program and special event rentals. With special pricing on select upright, grand, and digital models, as well as ’formula’ pricing on every single piano in the store, Merriam offers the low-risk option of evaluating an instrument without the initial cost of purchasing, or the penalties and stringent contract guidelines that often accompany a “buy-back” policy. And if you decide the instrument is right for you, you get 100% of the money credited directly towards your purchase.

5 Reasons why renting with Merriam is a great option:

1: Most “buy-back guarantee” programs are so stringent in their requirements and restrictions, and do
not include taxes or delivery, or inflation, that the true return to the customer is actually closer to
45%, not 70-85%, the advertised industry standard for this type of incentive program.
2: Our advertised rental prices are in most cases 75% less than our competition. Other stores make
rental so expensive that a purchase is the only real option customers feel they have. In reality, it isn’t
a rental program at all, but a sales tactic to motivate on-the-spot purchases.
3: You can choose from any piano in the store, regardless of cost or quality.
4: The initial amount paid out is substantially less than the cost of purchase, minimizing the risk in
situations where a final decision isn’t prudent.
5: Even after you convert your rental to a purchase, all of our trade-in guarantees, services and
warranties apply, and there are no rigid or unreasonable maintenence guidlines.
