I can also provide piano music. If your venue hasn’t got a good piano, or perhaps no piano at all, I can bring my wonderful Yamaha
electric grand piano (left). This electric instrument has had its sounds
sampled from actual instruments instead of being cheaply “simulated” by computer. The result is sound every bit as good as reality. This keyboard
can also be amplified using the Bose system shown on the page called “The Harps”. In addition to piano, it has several wonderful pipe organ voicings for when
nothing short of the big classic organ sound will do. This portable solution is
also a great solution for outdoor events, so long as electricity is somewhere nearby for me to use.

I can often work with additional musicians to create a truly memorable musical
combination for you. I may be able to work with musicians you already have in
mind, or I can help you to reserve the talents of some of the wonderful
musicians I work with such as soprano and tenor voices, trumpet, viola, piano
and French horn. (These musicians work at a fee additional to my own. Rehearsal
time may also be required at an hourly rate. Please ask for details.)
