We have close links with many artistes such as Jools Holland, Elton John, Jamie Cullum, and James Blunt to name but a few.
Our event hire team have developed wide skills from the worlds of theatre, concert, and event production and offer friendly and informed advice on every aspect of piano hire. We understand the unique nature of event management and aim to provide the best possible pianos, prepared, and tuned perfectly to assist each performance.
Over many years we have ‘road-tested’ a wide variety of instruments for their suitability and durability within the event hire market. Since the mid-1990’s we have specialised in using the Yamaha range of pianos which we renew approximately every three years. They meet every criterion for reliability, classic good looks, and musicality.
These pianos are constructed in such a way as to make them reliable, robust, durable, and stable; all these being vital aspects within event hire specification.
