I'm an adult learner, taking grade 8 piano soon. I have done all my preparation over the last 2 years on a digital piano and there is so much lacking in terms of sound. I play a real piano whenever I can but would really appreciate the chance to spend one or two full days practicing on a good real piano. So my question is: does anyone out there know of somewhere that will hire out a practice room or similar for this purpose? Any guidance would be much appreciated. Regards, Ian

Phone piano shops and ask if they hire out practice rooms? Many in London do, but I don't know about outside London.

This thread may be of help.

That was my thread - although I did manage to get my practice in, none of the places I used had a piano.

Whereabouts in Hants/ IOW are you? I may be able to suggest somewhere.
