Many singing pianists bring a high-quality digital piano or keyboard. Some may prefer to use an acoustic piano if one is available at the venue. A digital instrument is easily transported and produces excellent sound. Gig Heaven recommends discussing instrument arrangements when making an enquiry.

Most singing pianists welcome song requests and many invite guest interaction during their performance. Some offer an online request system before the event. For the best experience, discuss your preferred songs and any must-play or do-not-play lists with the performer.

Where a house piano is being used rather than an instrument the performer brings, tuning is the venue's responsibility and is worth confirming well ahead. An out-of-tune piano cannot be fixed on the day and usually means falling back on a digital one. Performers ask about the instrument before quoting, since it decides what they need to transport.

Adding a rhythm section is a common upgrade and many performers have regular players they work with. Piano and voice stay the core, so the material does not change, only the weight behind it. Ask for the expanded option when enquiring rather than after booking, as availability is the limiting factor.

In a small room the instrument carries well on its own and many performers prefer it that way. Once the space is larger or noisier a small PA is needed for the voice even where the piano is loud enough. Saying how many guests are expected is usually all the performer needs to decide.
