Piano Tuning

About us

Christopher Ris began tuning pianos in 1973. In 1981 he opened his own piano workshop (Ris Piano) and began to delve deeper into the complexities of piano mechanics and tonal production. He became absorbed in finding solutions to every problem affecting performance of this instrument: the best strings, the best hammers, the best action parts, the best wood for a soundboard, the optimum down pressure of the strings on the bridges, how action parts can be modified to optimize the piano's sound and touch. In 1985, he was selected for Yamaha's Expanded Service Seminar, and in 1990 Steinway invited him to New York for their factory training. He began to specialize in Steinway service and restoration and applied the techniques of concert grand preparation to all the pianos he encountered. Today, Ris Piano in San Rafael is a leading center for piano restoration and services, offering the most current technologies to optimize the performance of your instrument.

He was awesome. He had a lot of rehab to do on a piano that hadn't been tuned for 10 years. He fit me in earlier than expected into his schedule. He is incredibly thorough and took the piano apart and put it back together. He was very professional and he was quick in what he did. He was a very nice person too.
Description of Work: I used Ris Piano for piano tuning.
