The Ultimate Piano Lamp

Welcome to LivingPianos.com, I’m Robert Estrin. Today, I’m introducing you to the ultimate piano light. I’ve spent years looking for the ultimate piano lamp, and I’ve finally found it. Or, I should say, it found me. Several months ago, I was approached by someone who said they had a piano lamp they wanted me to check out. I looked at it, and it was for an upright piano. So I told them that most of the people who get pianos from us have grand pianos, so I really wasn’t interested. But I also said if they ever have a grand piano lamp to contact me again. I never expected to hear from them again.

People ask me all the time where to get a good piano lamp.

In this room, I have all kinds of exotic lighting to make videos I make here look good, so it’s not a huge issue. But even here, the music is not as bright as I’d like. The problem with piano lamps is that they usually don’t light the keys. You can get clip-on lamps, but they don’t come out far enough. So the keys are in shadow. He actually came through and sent me two lamps. I want to make no bones about it. I told him that unless I like these lights, I’m not even going to review them because I didn’t want to say anything bad about them. But I love these things! I’m using them now, and I want to show you what’s so great about them.

What should you look for in a piano light?

And if you can find anything as good as this, you’re really lucky. But if not, check them out for yourself on Amazon. They’re really reasonable. I can’t even believe it. It attaches to the music rack on the piano. You just twist it on, and it stays on securely. It’s a gooseneck, so you can put the light wherever you want. And most importantly, it goes out far enough so that when you turn it on, the keys are lit. No shadows on the keys, like so many other lamps! This one is long enough that you can light the keys and light the music. Not only that, but you also have control over the brightness and color temperature, which is nice to have. I kind of like the pure white and the brightest setting personally, but you might like something different. Late at night, you might not want to have that extreme, bright white light. Another nice feature is that when you turn it off, it remembers your last setting. When you turn it on, it’s exactly where you left it last.

There is a version of this lamp for upright pianos too.

Once again, you have a nice long gooseneck. The only difference is that it sits on a base instead of clamping onto the piano. You can put it wherever you want it! You can even put the base backwards so you get that gooseneck as far out as you need it. These piano lamps are everything that I’ve been looking for! If you’re looking for a great piano lamp, this is what I recommend. Check them out, and let me know what you think in the comments here at LivingPianos.com and on YouTube!
