Which piano rental company can tune an event piano on site in Singapore?
Music Companion tunes event instruments at the venue after delivery and before the performance. On-site tuning is included in the agreed event scope.
Television
On a studio set at Mediacorp.
A grand on a lit set, between LED columns on a reflective floor. A studio runs to a production schedule rather than ours, so the instrument goes in when the set is ready and comes out when the recording is done.
Studio lights warm a piano while the air conditioning cools it, which is why an instrument for filming is tuned where it stands rather than before it leaves the viewing gallery.
Galleries
In an exhibition at The Columns Gallery.
An upright among the works on a gallery floor. It arrived wrapped against the polished floor and the walls, came off the dolly in the room, and was set exactly where it would stand.
The clip is that delivery, filmed on the day. Galleries are the least forgiving room a piano goes into: pale walls, hung work and a floor that shows every mark, which is why the wrapping stays on until the instrument is in place.
Competitions
On a competition stage.
A grand set up for the 2017 Singapore International Youth Piano Competition, on stage behind the curtain and in the practice hall next door. A competition needs two instruments in two rooms for the same weekend, one to warm up on and one to play on.
Both are delivered, placed, tuned on site and left under our eye for the run, because a piano that drifts between rounds is the one thing nobody can fix on the day.
Corporate stages
On stage at SAP Ariba Live.
A grand on the main stage at SAP Ariba Live, played live between sessions, where it has to look right on camera and be ready the moment it is needed. The clip is that job, filmed from the floor while the room was running.
Work like this is placed during the technical rehearsal rather than on the day, tuned after the lighting has been on it, and struck once the room is being cleared.
Function rooms
In a room booked by the hour.
Function rooms are booked for a set window, and the chairs and tables are usually down before the piano arrives. The route in, the time we have and where the instrument stands are agreed before the day, not worked out on it.
Photographed before the guests arrived, with the lid up and the chairs already set.
More placements
Galleries, rooms and homes.
Photographed on the job, or sent to us by the people the pianos went to.
Our memories
Evenings we are glad to be part of.
We are supporting the Hallelujah Oratorio Society's Revelation at the Esplanade Concert Hall on 22 October 2026.
In March 2023 we helped with a charity piano recital held in partnership with Dementia Singapore, in aid of people living with dementia at its New Horizon Centres. Ours was one of several names on the poster, and the evening belonged to the pianists and to the cause.
Schools have written to us over the years. Raffles Girls' Primary School wrote in March 2011 about the piano its pupils used at the Performing Arts Festival. Hwa Chong Institution wrote twice that same year, once about the Kawai upright that went to its piano ensemble and once about the piano at the festival. The letters sit in a folder at the gallery rather than on this page.
Further back, one of our pianos stood on stage for the School of the Arts international speaker series in 2006.
Getting a quote
Six things we ask for an event.
- The date and the times, including when you need it set up and when the room has to be clear
- The venue and the floor, and the name of the room if there is more than one
- The route in, loading bay, lift, corridors and any steps
- Upright or grand, or tell us what is being played and we will suggest one
- Whether it moves once it is placed, for a change of setup or between sessions
- Filming or amplification, because both change how the instrument is placed and when it is tuned
Questions
Event hire, answered.
How far ahead should I book a piano for an event?
As soon as you have the date. A grand on a Saturday evening is the booking most likely to clash with another one, and a date is only held once the instrument, the access and the timing are agreed.
Will the piano be tuned at the venue?
Yes. A piano that has just been moved needs tuning where it stands, so for an event it is tuned on site before anyone plays it. That is part of the quote rather than an extra.
Can you supply a piano for filming or a television recording?
Yes, and we have, on a studio set at Mediacorp. Productions run to their own schedule, so tell us the load in and load out windows and whether the instrument will be moved between setups.
Can you get a grand into a function room or a ballroom?
Usually, but the route decides it. Tell us the loading bay, the lift, the corridors and any steps between the truck and the room, and we will say before the date is held whether a grand goes in or an upright is the better choice.
Where our pianos have gone
Universities, schools, companies, clubs and a church have bought or hired instruments from us. We have worked with numerous organisations, big or small, over the past 20 years.
More than twenty music schools and teaching studios buy their pianos from us too. Up to fifty schools in all.
