Hans, to electro-music.com

What a brilliant first post!

Those are amazing ancient instruments you have restored, and they sound amazing. I have spent quite some time on your YouTube pages. You are a very fine composer indeed. I assume you use your antiques in your compositions. Quite something.

On some of your YouTubes you suggest listening with headphones. I use the electro-music.com AmbiophonicDSP instead, and your stuff sounds beautiful.

We have quite a few Dutch members here. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get a few messages requesting a visit to check out those delights. I hope you decide to hang out a bit here for you have a lot to contribute. Welcome aboard...

Thanks for your very kind reply!

Yes, somehow these old instruments do inspire even today. Also it is sometimes amazing how good these old instruments sound!

I am going to check the AmbiophonicDSP.

There is a lot of interesting information to read here.
Thanks for this website!
