Grand Illusion Piano Shells

I am a professional touring musician with a technical stage production recreating 1970 - 1975 Elton John. The show is called Elton - The Early Years tribute show.

In order to play Elton John you have to sit behind a piano and not a digital small keyboard. The problem is, pianos are not practical to move from venue to venue because of the weight, tuning etc.

I looked at all the Piano Shell options out there, and they either were not accurate in their appearance, or they were just to heavy and expensive. It also was unreasonable to gut a real piano to put my digital keyboard into.

Grand Illusion Piano Shells are "ACCURATE" in their look and size, built to the actual specs of a piano, but amazingly super light (about 150 lbs without digital keyboard installed).

My digital 88 weighted Keyboard slides right into the shell, and believe me.. it fools even the people who walk up to it and are not paying close attention to the keyboard.

From the audience's point of view, they are always.. and I mean ALWAYS.. blown away by it.

I am in season 3 of my shows tour, and this piano shell has remained looking AMAZING and trouble free. You will get small dings or scratches along the way from road crew handling, so I recommend the satin finish, for easy quick touch ups if necessary. The touch up never shows and the piano looks like it did when I first received it... AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL.

It unpacks & packs away easily. It only takes a couple of people to put it up, attaching the legs in just minutes (legs are removable).

This piano shell set our show apart from the others, and keeps my road crew happy to load and unload it. A++

This is the BEST Piano Shell on the market and the price is amazing compared to the heavy stuff out there.

Great for your shows, bars, hotels, cruise ships, and even elegant enough for your home. Just call them and tell them what size you need (4' - 6') and the length of your digital keyboard and they will set you up!!!

Jeff Coulson is the owner & master builder, and he is into every detail and oversee's all production of every shell he makes! You will not be disappointed. He has a great list of famous people already playing them as well as those who are not as well known.

See my pictures for a few of the people who represented Jeff and the Grand Illusion Piano Shells at the Winter NAMM 2011 - 2012 and live pics from some of my shows.
