No Piano? No Problem
If your venue doesn’t have a piano available, Christopher can bring along a portable keyboard which sounds
just like a grand piano – in fact all of the 100 audio samples on the website were recorded using this
instrument, so why not listen for yourself? Alternatively, if you want something really classy for your special
occasion, Christopher can supply his digital baby grand piano.
