Hiring A piano
The cheapest rates anywhere in the UK
Hiring A Piano
For many people, hiring a piano is an excellent way of getting a good working piano at a very economic rate; in fact, I think we can honestly say ours are the cheapest rates anywhere in the UK.
There are two types of hire:
1. Short Term Hire.
This is for people who want a piano for a special event such as a wedding, birthday party, concert, etc. Prices vary according to what is needed: e.g: Grand, upright, quality of piano required, etc. Please contact us to discuss your requirements. We can then discuss everything from transport, access to site, dates, etc.
2. Long Term Hire.
We have a number of pianos out on hire, some for many years; others for people who are in the area for a fixed term like USAF personnel. Our customers range from a child just starting lessons to adults who are revisiting their piano playing after a few years away with university, work, family, etc.
It's a fact of life that many people buy a really cheap piano, off somewhere like Ebay which then has to be moved, tuned and then possibly moved again and dumped with land fill charges, etc. Even if they don't prove to be an immediate "write off", you often find the piano is really difficult to play. No wonder little Jimmy gives up after a few weeks. Hiring is also a good way to see if someone has the "sticking power" to learn and doesn't then want to have a pony six weeks later, karate lessons, dancing, flute, saxophone, etc, etc.
