Frequently Asked Questions
1. I am having a small party with less than 100 people. How large a musical group do I need?
Ans. It really depends on the customer. If you desire to have instrumental music, then Bob on solo keyboards will give you all the variety that you will need. We generally use between one and three pieces for parties from 25 to as large as 200 quests depending on the type of music required.
2. How do I decide between Instrumental music only or adding a vocalist?
Ans. It all depends on the type of party. Many clients having afternoon or evening parties, luncheons, dinners or receptions, as well as corporate events specifically request Instrumental only music. They find it easier for people to easily communicate with each other with instrumental music as the background. If it is more of a party crowd that wants to be entertained and dance at some point in the party, then a vocalist or two would be highly recommended. Our duo or trio consists of Keyboards, drums, bass and one or two vocalists.
3. Should I use the piano at the Venue, or Bob's Keyboard setup?
Ans. Many times the Client initially wants to use the Acoustic Grand Piano that is at the venue and then decides to utilize Bob's Keyboard Setup instead. Since we perform at almost every venue in the Atlanta area, we know that the pianos at some locations are in excellent condition and we love to play them, but at the same time, the pianos in many locations are in terrible shape and very " out of tune". While we agree that a Grand Piano is Nice looking , we also feel that the most important aspect of the musical entertainment should be the sound that the audience hears. In addition, using the piano at the venue also limits the music to the acoustic piano sound only, versus the wide variety of sounds Bob's Keyboards produce. Be sure and listen to our music samples on this site, to hear just a small sample of how Bob's Keyboards will sound at your event. For more on this subject please click here
3. If we have any special musical needs like for instance music from the 50's or Jazz, or Easy Rock, or Broadway Show music, is that a problem?
Ans. Bob Cardone has a repertoire of thousands and thousands of songs, in almost very style of music. We can perform just about any style of music that the client or audience would like to hear. Our specialty is taking requests from the audience
