Delivery & Tuning

Our pianos are transported in a customised vehicle, and installed by expert crew. The piano will arrive well tuned to concert pitch. Many venues will wish to engage a good tuner local to their district, before the concert. Though at present we have no resident tuner, we may be able to recommend one in your area.

We only deliver to ground floor venues, although we can cope with a few steps! Instruments can be placed on stages up to 5’ in height (subject to adequate access). This involves bringing a hydraulic lifting platform. Please note the weight of the piano and assess the suitability of the staging.

Transport and Installation Costs

These are based on porter hours and vehicle costs. The crew of porters cost £18 / hour. Distance from our Brampton base is costed @ £0.70 / mile. Please note that the below example is based on a hire to a venue with easy access.
