“To any lucky prospective client of Christopher Ris:
It is my great pleasure to write this letter recommending Christopher’s work.
For eleven years I have owned a Steinway upright, built in 1898.  I have loved this piano
with all my heart.  It caused me great pain to hear its sound become less and less lovely and more and more harsh.  I asked many piano tuners and rebuilders to come to my house to examine the piano and advise me what could be done to bring it back to its most musical self.  Half of these gentlemen told me that the piano was “ dead” and I “shouldn’t even give
it away”.  The other half told me that they could rebuild it for me at great cost, but that even with all the work, they couldn’t guarantee that it would ever sound the way I wanted it to.
Then I met Christopher.  He listened to me describe my problem and told me that he knew he could help me.  He arrived at my house with his magic bag and went to work.  In a few hours he discovered fixable problems that no one else had even noticed.  With care, precision, and tenderness he restored life and music to my fine old instrument.
I highly recommend Christopher and his work.  He is a skilled craftsman and a gifted artist.”
