Review by Martin B.

Private PartyReviewed on May 3, 2008From Sandusky, OH

Kristian was excellent. He arrived on time and was very talented and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

WeddingReviewed on June 16, 2007From Mentor, OH

I was disappointed not in Kristian's performance but in the fact that my friend for got the microphone when he transported the sound system for us. I wish I could have enjoyed Kristian's performance more. Depending on where my husband and I were at our reception venue we could not always here the piano. Thanks Kristian for your service on our wedding day we appriciated. We did get many compliments on those that took time to listend to Kristian play.

Private PartyReviewed on December 16, 2006From Hinckley, OH

Kristian was prompt and accommodated the group well. I received many good comments on his talents. He worked well to please the people, and was wise is his selection of music to fit into this specific house party. I would hire him again. Kristian was very professional, and fully met my expectations for background (but capable of careful listing) playing skills. He made good use of the instrument at hand (an ancient but well kept 5'7" grand), and reacted well to party goers requests. Even better, he was able to accompany the children's desire to sing with him, and was able to transpose accompaniment to suit them and one tenor soloist in the crowd. He was polite, but not hugely outgoing, perhaps due to the newness of his English language skills (he has been studying in the US for just five years). My compliments to him. He was a distinct asset to our house party. -Jim Shaw, Hinckley, Ohio.
