FOURTH GENERATION · FOUNDED IN SUNNINGDALE 1993
Handel Pianos Ltd
Handel Pianos offers two things under one roof: long-term piano rental for the home, and short-term piano hire for weddings, events and occasions.
If you want a real acoustic piano at home - to see whether a child takes to lessons, or to start learning yourself before committing to a purchase - our home rental starts from £50 per month for a second-hand upright, with a one-off delivery and collection charge of £95. There is a six-month minimum, and if you decide to buy, we can put 50% of the first six months of your rental towards the purchase.
If you need a piano for a single occasion - a wedding, a party, a concert or a recording - our hire fleet includes upright and grand pianos in gloss black and gloss white, tuned to concert pitch and delivered by our own specialist movers. Upright hire starts from £500, baby grands from £700.
We are a fourth-generation family firm, with the showroom etablished in Sunningdale in 1993, and we cover Berkshire, Surrey, Hampshire and London.
Home piano rental - from £50 a month
Buying a piano is a real commitment, and many people are not ready to make it until they know the instrument is right for them. Parents are often unsure whether a son or daughter will stay with their lessons. Adults returning to the piano, or starting for the first time, want to be certain before they invest. Renting solves this: a real acoustic piano in your home, for a modest monthly cost, with no obligation to buy.
How it works:
From £50 per month for a second-hand upright piano
£95 one-off delivery and collection - we bring the piano to you and take it away again if you decide not to continue
Six-month minimum, which we have found is the right length of time to know whether to buy or to carry on renting
Rent towards a purchase - if you fall for the instrument, we can put your rental payments towards buying it
An acoustic piano is a genuinely better instrument to learn on than a digital keyboard - the touch, the tone and the response are what a teacher wants a student practising on. Renting lets your household have one without the upfront cost.
Event & wedding piano hire - from £500
For a single occasion - a wedding, a birthday, a corporate event, a concert or a recording session - we hire acoustic pianos from a dedicated fleet, delivered and set up by the same specialist movers who handle our sales.
Our hire fleet includes:
Upright pianos, from £500
Grand and baby grand pianos, from £700, including a Yamaha G1 baby grand ideal for most concerts and events
Available in both gloss black and gloss white
Larger grand pianos can be arranged on request
Every hire includes:
Delivery and collection by our own experienced piano-moving team
Tuning to A440 concert pitch before every hire - during the wedding season our fleet is tuned once or twice a week
Careful handling at any venue, using piano trolleys with pneumatic tyres for gravel and boards to protect lawns and floors
We regularly supply pianos to venues including Wentworth Golf Club, Penny Hill Park in Bagshot, Rivervale Barn in Yateley and Stoke Place in Buckinghamshire, and we are happy to deliver to your home or a marquee in the garden. We work directly with event organisers and venues to make the day as straightforward as possible.
Should you need the piano tuned again at the venue after delivery, a tuner can be arranged from £100.
Which do I need?
Rent if you want a piano in your home for weeks or months - to learn on, to practise on, or to try before buying. Ongoing monthly cost, six-month minimum, option to buy.
Hire if you need a piano for a single event - a day, a weekend, a performance. One-off cost, delivered and collected, tuned and ready to play.
If you are not sure, tell us what the occasion is and we will point you to the right one.
