Among his clients are members of the New York Phil­harmonic, the Berlin Phil­harmonic Orchestra and the Royal Con­cert­gebouw Orchestra of Amster­dam.
    On his visit to Iceland in 2005 Christophe com­mis­sion­ed Hlíf and Hjörleifur Valsson, who also plays Landon Violin, to record the 44 Duos by Béla Bartók for a CD to pro­mote his violins. That disk was released in 2006 and re-released in 2012. Cecelia Porter, Music Critique of the Washington post wrote: "This recording should be at the top of the list for 2006 and beyond". The Duo's second CD, Icelandic Violin Duos received no less critic than the first one.

In 2009 Martin Frewer, who also plays Landon violin, replaced Hjörleifur Valsson in the Duo.
