Umberto Eco has gone away

He leaves a big gap - also for me:This sophisticated old man which - with his unique mix of deep wisdom and sparkling humor ever again fascinated me with his stories.

He has left such a richt work to this world - now it seemed that he found his moment to pass to the other side.

Here - on our earth - his voice will be missing.

And I am gratefol to him for all the joy and new kinds of view he had given to me.

Yes - and I am particularly glad  that not only I had found my pleasrue to his work - he also obviously estimated my work so much that he was not able to leave an exhibition in Austria without acquiring an alto recorder from my workshop.

He simply found so much joy in playing the reorder!

It was good to be there!

The

Journées de Musique Ancienne

were busy also this year.

Despite the terror of the past days also this year filled the exhibition halls.
And a nice couple of them found their new fine instrument here at my stand.

Many thanks to all of my visitors for their interest - and lots of joy for the new owndrs of a fine recorder!

À la prochaine!

It was a joy to be there...

Also this year many musicians and interested visitors came to the greatest exhibition around "Early Music" in London/Greenwich from November 12-14.

There was a dark shadow over this weekend, caused by the awful attacks in Paris.
