This illustrative stage piano has a bank of sliders along the top of its panel and weighted keys meeting a felt strip. Finish and key count are the configurable options, with the result sent as a quote request.
Stage pianos are bought by working players. They carry the instrument to gigs, set it up in rehearsal rooms and need it to feel right under their hands for a full set. Key count is the practical decision. Eighty-eight keys covers the whole piano range, while 73 keys is shorter and lighter to carry. Finish matters on stage, where the instrument appears in every photograph of the band.

What you can configure
Matte black, gloss white, dark red and graphite appear in the demo, and walnut and slate blue complete the range. The sliders and keys stay the same, so the swatches change only the casing. Keys are 73 or 88. A 73 key instrument fits more car boots and smaller stages, while 88 keys suits classical repertoire and players who use the full range. The selected key count is listed in the build summary.
- Colour: Matte Black, Gloss White, Dark Red, Graphite
- Keys: 73 Keys, 88 Keys
Why a configurator suits pianos
Music retailers sell stage pianos as part of a rig. The player needs a stand, a sustain pedal, often an expression pedal, a gig bag or flight case, and perhaps a bench. Those items are usually sold separately, with no guidance on which case fits which instrument. Building the rig around the chosen piano fixes that.
Key count drives most of those accessory choices. A case for the 88 key model will not suit the 73, and stands vary in width. A configurator filters accessories to suit the selected size, so the buyer cannot add a case that is the wrong length. Six finishes on two key counts give twelve instruments before accessories.
Schools, churches and venues also buy stage pianos, often through a quote and purchase order rather than a card payment. A quote option serves those buyers alongside individual players, with the full rig listed for approval. Delivery to a venue can also be timed around rehearsals or services.
How a production version would be built
One image per finish per key count is needed, because the 73 key version is visibly shorter. That is twelve images, and rendering from the manufacturer's CAD is often more practical than photographing every finish. Accessories appear as a list with thumbnails rather than layers, since they are not usually shown attached. What the retailer provides is the finish list, length and weight per key count, accessory compatibility and SKUs. Players check out through a Shopify or WooCommerce basket, while schools and venues send a quote. Short sound demos can sit beside the key count choice.

Questions about piano configurators
Can the configurator suggest a stand, pedals and case for the chosen instrument?
Yes. Accessories are filtered by key count, so only cases and stands that fit appear. They can be offered as a suggested rig or picked individually. Each carries its own SKU, so the basket or quote lists every item clearly and stock is checked as normal.
How can buyers see the size difference between 73 and 88 keys?
Show each key count from the same angle at true relative scale, and list length and weight beside the option. A top-down view makes the difference obvious. For players who travel, a note on carrying length helps them check the instrument against their car boot or existing gig bag.
Can schools and churches order through a quote rather than a card?
Yes. The last step can be a quote request that captures the organisation name, delivery details and purchase order reference. The full rig is listed, so the finance team can approve it in one go. Individual buyers still check out through the basket as normal.
Can we include sound demos in the configurator?
Yes. Short audio clips can sit beside each model, recorded with the same signal chain so they compare fairly. They are most useful when they demonstrate the instrument's main sounds and the feel of its dynamics, rather than a full performance. Casing finish does not affect sound, so one set of clips covers all colours.
