For Events/Venues Without a Piano:  I will provide!!  I will bring a state-of-the-art portable digital ultimate grand piano.  This digital full 88 key instrument is one of the most sophisticated digital keyboards available.  It recreates perfectly tuned grand pianos, grand floor harps, or other instruments such as a Cello, Theatre Organ, Floor Harp and Church Organ.  (Electricity is required on site.)
  • $50 portable piano, or,
  • $75 portable piano with 1-2 audio speakers/amplifiers.
  • $25 difficult access, if stairs, rough terrain, long hauling distance from car.
  • $25 Microphone rental for singer. 

Click on the link to the left called, "Music Samples, Listen Now!!" to hear more audio of this digital keyboard and it's various instrument sounds.
Mileage:  No charge for mileage within the Northshore, New Orleans, Metairie, Mandeville, Slidell, Covington, Hammond, Picayune or the Mississippi Gulf Coast areas. 
     Mileage beyond that range is 50 cents/mile for any miles I drive over a total of 80 round-trip miles, based on Google Map’s door-to-door estimates from my house in Mandeville, LA. 
     So, simply take the total roundtrip miles that go OVER the number 80.  Divide that number by two.  That’s the number!
     For example, say it's 100 miles roundtrip.  That's 20 miles more than 80.  So take 20/2=$10.
Deposit:  A 50% non-refundable deposit reserves the date for your event with the balance due at or before the event.  We book up to 18 months in advance of an event.



   "Mr. Bachman arrived prior to the event, dressed formally and was very professional. He made sure the music selection and tones were perfect. The Bride & Groom were most pleased and grateful that I hired an experienced, gracious and courteous pianist. I would highly recommend Mr. Bachman for any type of social event for clearly his repertoire is vast and he's very congenial." --Bridgette Kronlage, Engagement Party, New Orleans
