Last lesson of the year for Milou, my youngest student!

A Luister-10 (!) for Mike Fentross and La Sfera Armoniosa, published in - Magazine over klassieke muziek . A quote:
"Mike Fentross, conductor and string player (theorbo and baroque guitar), who with his ensemble La Sfera Armoniosa gives a nicely balanced performance: in the slow movements, which usually have the designation grave, largo and andante, warm and
in the faster parts, such as an allegro, presto or vivace, energetic
and swinging. Van Wassenaer name could not be mentioned in the first publication, because it did not fit his noble status. But the centuries long association of his music with brilliant colleagues such as Vivaldi and Pergolesi is very comprehensible."

A great part of my job at is developing, researching and, eventually, testing out bass rosins!
Today is one of those days, browsing through various samples and finding out what works, what doesn't and what can be done better, all to ensure you get the best rosins for your playing!
It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it! 🤠
