I would not recommend renting or buying the suzuki because even though I have never played the instrument before I have heard that it is a piece of crap!
It breaks after a months use and can;t hold a note in tune or hold it longer than 8 counts.
If you are in a cash bind try and spend just a little extra on a Yamaha yas 23 you can get some used for 665 or a new one for 995!
