Piano Hire
We hear a lot of people say that they would like to play the piano, but cost of owning one can be expensive and so often puts people off. Piano hire is the most cost effective way to own a piano, which meets your needs in terms of budget and quality and gives you the opportunity to see if it is something that you or your children wish to continue in the long term, without making a financial commitment. Piano hire enables you to have a piano in your home for all the family to enjoy and learn if the piano is the right instrument for you before buying a piano.
There are many advantages in hiring a piano as a preference to outright purchase.

How much does it cost
Prices for hiring a piano start from as little as £30.00 per month. Piano Hire fees are payable initially in advance for the first
There is no direct corellation between the price of the piano and the relative hire fees, but pianos costing around £1500 will have hire fees in the region of £40 per month, where pianos costing £4000 would have hire fees around £80 per month.
What are the delivery charges
The basic cost of delivery and collection is £110.00 each way if the piano is being delivered within the M25 radius and provided there are no stairs for the piano to be carried up from the road level. Charges involving stairs are calculated at the time of hiring, but they are not exorbitant.
What is the contract period ?
Our minimum (payable) period for a long term hire is 6 months, with the piano hire fees and the delivery and collection charges payable in advance and by Standing Order. This is a rollover contract, and you will be invoiced in advance for subsequent periods after the initial contract period has finished.
Can I buy the piano ?
We offer a very attractive Option to Purchase Scheme whereby a percentage of the hire fees you have paid can be offset against buying either the piano you are hiring, or any other piano. The maximum rebate will be equivalent to 6 month's hire fees. Should you decide to take up the option to buy the piano you are hiring, we will also deduct the collection fee. These deductions will be made from the original purchase price quoted at the commencement of hiring.
