What pianos are available for hire?
1. Intermediate Upright Pianos
Our intermediate range of pianos suits beginner learners up to piano grade/level 6; even at that level it may not be necessary to hire a premier piano unless the player intends on hosting a concert in their lounge. Most piano teachers would teach from pianos in this range. This range includes pianos like Challen, Kemble, Knight, Otto Bach, Rippen, Zimmerman.

2. Premier Upright Pianos
Although the Eshelby intermediate range of pianos are of a very good quality, our premier range is of a higher quality: more expensive pianos and/or more expensively polished pianos. We are very proud to be able to offer a wide variety of the best makes of pianos. These always include Steinway and Yamaha pianos and often include Bechstein, Bluthner, Bosendorfer, Grotrian, Kawai amoung other brands available for hire and/or sale.

3. Grand Pianos.
The appearance of a grand piano is stately, monumental and impressive! It is so morish, including needing enough space and having a fairly generous budget. Some uprights really have brilliant dynamic sound, but with the option of opening the piano matched with a considerably larger sound board, longer strings and overall size, a grand piano holds it own in terms of range, resonance, tonality and responsive touch.

During October 2022, we have changed this page of the website to the monthly hire and divided the ranges of pianos to three seperate pages - intermediate upright, premier upright and grand pianos - to simplify finding the right piano.
