Book an appointment to discuss renting a piano
- If you decided to hire/rent one of our pianos and stool, we would like to visit your home and meet you and your partner. We would also like to see where the safest place for the piano would be.
- An example would be on an inside wall where the other side of the wall is another room, no sun light at all and not exposed to a draft. Draftiness is what causes keys to stick.
- These are a few things to consider when placing a piano correctly and safely. Ground floor of your home is ideal
Please note : Pianos will not be carried up flights of stairs.

Three ways to place a piano correctly
Here are some important pointers to remember when choosing placements for a piano. Similar to people, pianos are sensitive to their environment, especially when it comes to temperature changes. Initially we would like to meet you at your home to assist you in identifying the safest room for a piano.
1. Inside Wall Placement.
It is ideal to place the piano on an inside wall. An inside wall means that the other side of the wall is another room rather than the outside of the house. Inside walls ensure that the hired piano will keep its tune for a longer period.
2. Protect From Sunshine.
Curtains or blinds are not a remedy sunny areas. Please ensure that the hired piano is not exposed to any sun whatsoever. Sun shining onto the piano will damage its surface. Rooms which have daily sun will also have frequent temperature changes which will affect the pianos ability to hold its tuning correctly.
3. Protection From Drafts.
Be sure not to place the piano in a draft or where air flows freely. Such draftee environments cause the keys and hammer mechanism to stick. A draft also contributes to a constant temperature fluctuation causing the piano not to hold its tune correctly. One example is, placement near a door being used daily.
Flower Pots and Drinks.
Please do not place drinks or flowerpots on the piano. If liquids are spilt into the piano keys or piano action, the piano keys will not work correctly anymore since liquid affects the piano’s parts mostly because they are made of wood. No flowerpots on the piano. Water marks or rings will mark the piano.
Picture Frames On The Piano
Feel free to place picture frames on the piano. Firstly placing a cloth on the piano will prevent scratching.
