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 asl for details.)
