Music is magic and piano music is perhaps the most magical form of entertainment for that upcoming party, corporate event, wedding or anniversary. The problem is, many facilities simply do not have a piano, or a suitable piano, to meet the needs of the pianist. You don't want to stick your talent, the person who can turn your special event into a lively, enchanting or romantic affair, an event that will be fondly remembered by your guests, on a beat-up old clunker of a piano that sounds bad and limits the performer's artistic ability. But don't let that ruin your opportunity to bring piano music to your party or special event. There is an easy solution to incorporating a suitable piano into any party or event.
Piano rentals for party's and events is a specialty business that caters to music lovers by providing world-class pianos for all types of gatherings. Some of the finest pianists in the world, renowned artists of international acclaim, also rely on piano rental companies for their needs while traveling on tour. One of the best ways to determine if a piano rental company is highly regarded in the industry is by the company they keep. The very best piano rental outlets also have access to world class piano tuner-technicians to make sure that the piano you receive is prepped to the utmost level of performance and playability. If your local piano rental company is providing pianos for the very best pianists in the world, you can be extremely confident that the piano they help you choose for your event will be a quality instrument that will sound fabulous for whatever venue you are using.
Here are some of the important considerations a top-notch piano rental company will help you decide:
The Correct Size of Piano:
In general terms, a bigger piano is better, but not always. A larger piano offers a great range of expressive capability, with a deeper, richer bass and crisp, clear tonality in the upper registers, but it can also overpower a smaller venue. You want the best sound quality you can get without blowing out the windows! Conversely, a piano that is too small might not sound rich enough for your event because it doesn't have the power to fill the space that is available. A good indication of a piano rental company street smarts is whether they offer guidance in choosing the right size of instrument for the location of your event.
The Correct Type of Piano:
Will your guest pianist need to be the focal point of your event? If so, a baby grand or grand piano shows off the performer like nothing else. On the other hand, if your musician will simply be providing background music only, or if you have a more limited budget, a high quality vertical might be called for. Again, the professional piano rental company can guide you in choosing the right kind of piano that will serve your budget while providing an instrument that will meet the expectations you have for your party or event.
Piano stores typically offer piano rentals. However, the very best of these outlets have dedicated Commercial Piano Rental divisions who specialize in catering to the needs of party and event planners. For example, in Phoenix, Arizona where I live, there is one company that really stands out for not only dedicated Commercial Piano Rentals, but in sponsoring many piano related events for the community as well. They employ only the highest caliber of piano technicians to prep their instruments, insuring their piano rental customers will receive a piano that is professionally prepared and prepped to add that extra touch of magic to a party or event.
If you are lucky enough to live in the Phoenix area, "Safe & Sound Piano," also doing business as "My First Piano," is the leading provider of piano rentals in the greater Phoenix area. One of the most important aspects of their service is that they also own the largest piano delivery service in the state of Arizona, so they can get the piano safely to and from an event, on time, professionally prepped, and ready to go.
For those living in other areas of the country, there may not be a company with a dedicated Piano Rental Division. In this, the more normal situation, I would recommend that you start with the largest piano store in your area who deals with better quality pianos. Many of these outlets, but not all, will usually have a piano or two they can make available for your party or event.
Now that you are armed with a little basic information about piano rentals, let the magic begin by adding a rental piano to your list of plans. Enjoy!
