Grand Piano Shells Available To Give Any Event Classic Look!

A Grand Piano Shell is an empty stand that holds a digital piano or keyboard and looks like a small baby grand piano.
Acoustic pianos are more expensive to move, easily go out of tune, and can have squeaky parts and sticking keys from being moved and going through temperature and humidity changes. And they weigh 500-700 lbs.
My shells weigh 60-70 lbs. and have a separate lid and legs. Assembly takes about 15 minutes. Setting up on lawns, high stages, on balconies, or other spots popular for events is easy and safe. My shells are 40” deep, 57.5” wide, and can hold pianos and keyboards up to about 55” wide.

There are cord organizers on the legs. The cable for the sustain pedal runs down a leg, plus any audio or power cords if needed. I have batteries if you do not want a visible power cable.

I offer Kawai ES920 digital pianos with built-in speakers if you need a piano or keyboard.

What are the Real Critics Saying? - These Are Reviews From Scott's Previous Performances!

Cara Y. - We had a wonderful experience hiring Scott for our daughter's graduation party. He was responsive and easy to work with. His musicality was evident through the music. The teenagers and adults enjoyed his entertainment very much. I heard some of the kiddos are still talking about how much they enjoyed his performance. We would like to hire him for another time.

Kali C. - Scott did a wonderful job for our dinner party! He arrived on incredibly short notice, only an hour, when our previous entertainment cancelled. Thank you Scott for a great evening!

Stacy E. - Scott was very attentive to what we wanted for our wedding. He was willing to learn new songs. He was also very easy to communicate with. There is nothing but good things to say about Scott! He is wonderful and so is his music.

Keisha Y. - Scott was super easy to work with and did an excellent job. He brainstormed music options with me and executed perfectly!

CHIKA A. - Scott was very responsive and went above and beyond to make my wedding ceremony memorable. He showed up on time and worked well with Music Director of the Catholic Church. I’d recommend him in a heartbeat!

Kenneth H. - Scott was professional and friendly, and did a fantastic job. He knew all the songs, including some non-traditional songs. I'm very happy with choosing Scott as our wedding pianist.

Mary W. - Scott is professional and so nice! He is extremely talented, and played non stop throughout the evening.

Nick N. - Great and very professional and responsive.

Craig K. - He was wonderful and professional – We had a great time and will be using him again!

Stephanie E. - Scott's performance was perfect! From the beginning of receiving a quote from him, answering all my questions, had no trouble with any of my song requests, showed up promptly and was super nice and professional! I would use him again for any event. Thank you for making our day super special.

Linda B. - He was in tune, very professional and easy to talk with.

Bernie T. - Scott provided an exceptional musical backdrop for a surprise birthday gathering. Absolutely perfect. Great repertoire of songs and both highly professional and respectful of our home. Strongly recommend without reservation.

Chris M. - Scott did a fantastic job playing for our wedding. He performed wonderfully and hit every cue for the ceremony. Oftentimes what's more important than what you hear is what you don't hear (i.e. missed cues, sour notes, music that doesn't suit the atmosphere, etc.) and as a musician myself I understand how difficult a skill that can be. To that end, Scott demonstrated both technical proficiency and a wealth of experience playing for weddings. I can't stress enough that a poor pianist might not only fail to set the tone for the ceremony, but can distract from it altogether. Scott will not let you down in this regard.

Susie H. - Scott was amazing to work with from the moment I first spoke with him. He allowed me to pick music that was important to me and was so professional and made my special day PERFECT! I will forever sing his praises!

Chris W. - Scott was the perfect performer for my event. Many of the guests were complimentary of his music. Scott will definitely be the performer I use for future events!

Pam B. - Scott was hired to play three hymns for my mother's memorial service in Sept 2022. I cannot say enough good things about what Scott's talent brought to the event. He is a brilliant pianist, and his rendition of the requested pieces was flawless. Scott also provided some "filler music" to add a nice ambiance as guests arrived. And after hearing during the service about how my late mother had been a beach and sun-lover, he asked my permission to play "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles as the guests left. It was mentioned by several attendees and helped us smile at the conclusion of a sad event. From a practical standpoint, Scott arrived on time, set up quickly, and required no power as everything we did was graveside. Could not recommend more!

Dr. B. C. - Scott was spectacular! His music made our event a great success! He communicated with me several times prior to the event to be certain the event details were well planned and well coordinated. He arrived on schedule.

I heard many compliments from guests and family members on how much they loved Scott's playing. Thank you Scott! Will definitely book again!

Art V. - Outstanding performance and very accommodating. Highly recommended!

Monica M. - You can’t get any better, we had Scott play for our ceremony and he was perfect! Was perfectly on time and I was so happy with his work, he really made the day special :)
