Instruments
ABRSM Public Venues provide a piano suitable for exam purposes. The piano will be upright
or grand. Practice before the exam cannot be arranged, but examiners will recognise that the
instrument may be one that candidates are unfamiliar with. When exams are held at Private Visits
(i.e. premises provided and overseen by the Visit Organiser and visited by the examiner), a suitable
piano must be provided. A digital piano may be used, provided it has a clearly recognisable piano
tone, a touch-sensitive keyboard with full-size weighted keys, and an action, range and facilities
that match those of a conventional acoustic piano, including a sustaining pedal.
Before beginning the exam: Candidates are welcome to adjust the piano stool height (the
examiner will be happy to help with this if necessary) and to play a few notes to try out and get
used to the piano.
