Good morning folks,

Julie and I returned from the Netherlands and spent Friday and Saturday at the store. We had been following any sales activity while we were away and were amazed at how many instruments the many had sold. When we came back we were even more amazed at how well organized the store was and how the staff had attended to every detail. What also impressed us was the vibrancy of the entire place. Now we had just visited many great stores in the Netherlands but none had the traffic and the activity that I saw in our store this past Friday and Saturday. There were professors, there were young kids, there were students, there were musicians all stopping in to try things, to buy things or just to hang out. Several customers had traveled great distances to check the inventory or to attend a jam. It’s  really a lovely place to hang my hat.
