“The best of both worlds: the delectable just-tuned piano sound with the ability of harmonic motion found in traditional classical works.”

— Bob Reina , Stereophile, RECORDS 2 DIE 4

“The tuning system and modified strings transform the piano's sound, creating a strangely 'Eastern' timbre, with sustained overtones.”

— Jon Andrews , Downbeat, album review of From Ancient Worlds

“If the walls of an ancient European cathedral of Middle Eastern monastery could sing, this is what you'd hear.”

— C.W. Vrtacek , The Advocate, album review of From Ancient Worlds

“Harrison gives the piano a versatility of sound never heard before, ranging from harp to guitar to sitar.”

— Annie Bergen , WQXR, New York

“Harrison has perfected a way of playing in just intonation at the piano… such celestial resonance that it captures your attention from the first note.”

— Linda Kohanov , CD Review, contributing editor
