- There are definitely companies which rent such instruments. I occasionally
- get ads from one or two of them, but the names escape me right now. In any
- case typical rental is not all that cheap, being ~10% of list price/month.

- May make more sense to look at a used/old/obsolete but still quite
- functional instrument.
-
- Check any decent industry reference.
