A Complete, Professionally Managed Service

From selecting your instrument to its final collection, our team will coordinate each stage of your piano hire.

A Carefully Selected Range

Our hire collection includes acoustic and digital pianos suitable for homes, events, performances and professional venues. Availability varies, but our team will recommend the most appropriate instrument for your space, occasion and budget.

Specialist Delivery and Installation

Pianos require careful handling, appropriate equipment and experienced movers. Our specialist team will assess access at the delivery location, transport the instrument securely and place it in the agreed position, subject to safe and suitable access.

Professionally Prepared Instruments

Every hire piano is checked and prepared before delivery. Acoustic instruments are tuned where required so that they are ready to be played and enjoyed upon arrival.

Flexible Hire Periods

Hire can be arranged for a few hours, a single day, several weeks or a longer-term period. Each agreement is created around your individual requirements.

Clear, Tailored Quotations

Your quotation will confirm the instrument, hire period, delivery and collection arrangements, applicable deposits and any additional services required.

Our hire range includes:

Portable Digital Pianos

A practical option for smaller venues, temporary performances, rehearsals and situations where portability is important.

Home Digital Pianos

Ideal for home practice, student accommodation and longer-term rental where controlled volume and headphone use may be beneficial.

A popular choice for homes, schools, churches, functions and venues requiring the sound and presence of an acoustic piano without the space needed for a grand.

A premium option for weddings, concerts, theatrical productions, corporate events, film work and prestigious venues.

Digital Grand Pianos

Combining the appearance of a grand piano with the convenience and flexibility of a digital instrument.

Specific models are subject to availability. We will recommend a suitable piano based on your preferred instrument type, venue, access and budget.

  When enquiring, please tell us about the occasion, venue, preferred piano type, hire dates and any access considerations.

Our experienced delivery team regularly handles upright, digital, baby grand and grand pianos. Before confirming your hire, we will ask for information about the delivery address and access route, including steps, stairs, lifts, narrow entrances and parking restrictions.

The piano will be delivered and positioned in the agreed location, provided the access is safe and suitable. At the end of the hire period, we will arrange collection at an agreed time.

All hire instruments are checked before they leave us to ensure they are presented in good condition and ready for use.

Where appropriate, our acoustic hire pianos are professionally tuned before delivery. For longer-term arrangements, additional tuning and maintenance can be discussed as part of the hire agreement.

Our experienced piano technicians have specialist training and extensive knowledge of acoustic piano preparation, maintenance and restoration. This gives customers confidence that their hire instrument has been prepared with the care it deserves.
