Friedrich von Huene - Obituary

It was not until the evening of Whitsunday that I learnt of the passing of the American recorder maker Friedrich von Huene the previous week, on ‘Stockstadt Sunday’.

I have been deeply moved by this news.

Friedrich von Huene was one of the most eminent pioneers of historic recorder making. He was a tireless researcher into old instruments whom we can thank for so much knowledge about their secrets that, these days, we take for granted.

In gratitude and mourn i say my personal goodbye to him.

Lost Early baroque tenor recorder

on its way to Australia an early baroque tenor recorder from my workshop has gone lost - probably it has been stolen.
