I've wondered whether it's unusual (nationwide) for the first three
months of rental to be applied towards purchase of a student
instrument
(if the student decides to stick with it)?
------------------------------------------

It is required by law (not sure if it is my state or national) that
the rental be applied to the purchase cost (in effect it isn't a
"rental" it is a purchase over time which can be cancelled). The game
that the retailers play with it is that they jack up the price to
retail instead of a discount.
