Transform Your Event with the Stunning Touch of a Baby Grand Piano Shell
When planning a wedding, corporate event, or private party, every detail matters — and creating a luxurious atmosphere often comes down to the visual touches that guests notice right away. One of the most elegant, unforgettable centerpieces you can add to any event is a grand piano — but moving or renting a real grand piano in Niagara or Toronto is no small feat.
That’s where our Baby Grand Piano Shell Add-On comes in.
At The Fox Music, we’re proud to offer a beautiful, portable baby grand piano shell by Keyhole Piano Shells that brings the same stunning visual impact without the logistical headaches and amplification challenges of an acoustic piano. Whether you're hiring our live musicians or enhancing the look of your venue, our piano shell offers the perfect finishing touch at a fraction of the cost of moving or renting a real grand in the GTA.
What Is a Piano Shell?
A piano shell is a life-size, realistic shell that mimics the look of a real grand piano — but without the heavy internal mechanics. It’s designed specifically to hold a keyboard inside, giving the illusion of a full grand piano while offering the flexibility and convenience of modern equipment.
Our baby grand piano shell is the 40-inch model from Keyhole Piano Shells, including the “Keymaster” package with a lyre and open lid. With the extra room inside the shell, we’re able to use a small battery to power the keyboard inside and use a wireless transmitter to connect to a mixer or PA, for a fully wireless setup that really sells the look of a real piano.
Why Choose Our Piano Shell?
Luxury Visual Appeal: Nothing says "elegance" quite like the silhouette of a grand piano under soft lighting. Whether it’s the centerpiece of a cocktail hour or a backdrop to your first dance, the baby grand adds timeless beauty to any setting.
Professional Presentation: Many backline companies rent out shells like this — often for upwards of $1,000 — just for the look. With The Fox Music, you can include this stunning add-on with your booking at a far more affordable rate.
Practical Convenience: Moving a real grand piano can cost more than $1500 once you factor in special movers, tuning, and setup. Our piano shell is far easier to transport and set up, without sacrificing the luxury look.
Excellent Keyboard Sound: Acoustic pianos are hard to amplify. Professional-grade keyboards are not, and paired with our top-notch PA equipment, you can expect a studio-quality sound live.
Perfect For Any Event
Our baby grand piano shell is ideal for:
Weddings: Make your ceremony, cocktail hour, or reception look straight out of a magazine.
Corporate Events: Impress clients and guests with a sophisticated stage presence.
Luxury Parties: Add an upscale ambiance to gala nights, milestone birthdays, and anniversaries.
Concerts & Performances: Give your stage a classic feel without the high cost and risk of moving a real piano.
Whether your event is indoors or outdoors, formal or casual, the grand piano shell instantly elevates the experience.
See the Difference for Yourself
When you choose The Fox Music, you’re not just booking incredible musicians — you’re creating a full experience for your guests. Our baby grand piano shell is one of the easiest, most powerful ways to make your event stand out.
