Renting a grand piano is fairly common for a temporary instrument at a performance venue, or for a household not yet sure it wants to commit to a large piano long-term, wanting to try the experience for a while before deciding to buy.

The total cost of renting a grand long-term usually far exceeds the price of buying an entry-level grand outright. If the goal is eventually owning a grand long-term, renting works better as a stopgap than a long-term solution — it's worth working out the total cost of a year or two of rental before deciding.
