Friends, >From time to time I've wondered if I could build a successful piano rental business. Is anyone on the list doing this? Is it worth the hassle? As I get closer to the typical retirement age I try to think of ways I can establish a continuing stream of income while freeing up more time for volunteerism or even the possibility of not being able to carry the workload I do now. Any helpful comments regarding aspects to remember and possible pitfalls? One possible misconception I have is that renting pianos, especially to customers who keep renting them for years, seems like taking advantage of the clueless, who would be better off going out and buying one. On the other hand, I can see the point of short-term rentals for people who move around a lot and don't want the headache of moving the piano, but then there would be a lot more piano moving involved, something I'm not particularly excited about.
