Dear Marten,
I have had time to try out the head piece now & it is really good .
It feels
really comfortable and I can produce a strong bright sound on it.
Thanks very much & wishing you a very Merry Christmas.
Best regards Hazel Hunter
Dear
Mr. Visser
I would like to thank you very much.
With the repairs and overhauls done by you I am very content as they are carried
out carefully, appropriately, quick and affordably.
A special facilitation in exercising my profession as flute teacher is brought
to me by the headjoint made by you in the Swan Neck shape, which sounds beautiful.
I look forward to a long and succesful cooperation.
Many regards, your

Hi
Maarten,
It has been a few months ago that you made an adaptive headjoint for my flute.
By now, I am using it with great pleasure.
Shortly after I received the headjoint I went to an international contest
in Valencia (Spain) with the band I was playing with at that time. Guess what...
we won!
It was a brilliant experience, thanks, amongs other things, to the special
headjoint, so... Maarten, thanks!
best wishes,

Dear Maarten,
Just to let you know that I am very happy with the swanneck I use with
fluteplaying.
For me, with severe arthrose problems, really the difference between continuing
playing or being forced to stop.
Also, I am content with the time you took to help me with the purchase.
I wich you much success with your work. You can use may name adress and
phone number for referring to others.
greetings, Els van Vliet

Hi
Maarten,
I just want to thank you for my new flute. Now I have to learn everything
again, embouchure, technique, just everything. But the flute sounds so good!
Gabi was a little jealous of me.
I am very happy and thanks to the flute I suffer no pain anymore.

Flute
playing has been extremely painful since August of 1998 because of injuries
I received in a car accident. The injury was in the neck, basically 'nothing
major' - whiplash, but playing became excruciatingly painful especially when
playing for more than half an hour. I play professionally. My brother and
I are a duo - flute and string bass - and we play at a restaurant Wednesday
nights for three hours. It has been a real mixture of joy and pain. Thanks
to you, it is now pure joy once again.
Thank you, Thank you. I can't say it enough. I'm surprised more people don't
know about you and your headjoints!
