18 november 2021 overleed Ack van Rooyen op 91 jarige leeftijd. Een geweldige muzikant en dierbare vriend.

Ik ben er wel trots op dat hij veel van die noten heeft gespeeld op de bugel die we samen hebben ontwikkeld. Het was in 2002 dat Ack mij belde of ik voor hem een instrument wilde maken. Ack heeft toen zeker een week bij mij gelogeerd waarbij … Read more » about The Miracle Ack van Rooyen

After this we kept in contact, … Read more » about In Memoriam Bob Reeves
