Cang Guang

This is Guang Cang, trying a brand new guitar. The guitar has my former rozet (concentric rings) and headstock. I especially built it for Guangs friend Christina Gai who lives in Australia.

Cang Guan studied at the Beijing Guitar Society with the legendary Prof. Chenzhi and continued his studies in the Netherlands, with Zoran Dukic and Enno Voorhorst at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in den Haag. Living in the Netherlands, Guan became a friend of the family. Yesterday he moved back to China. We will miss him,  but I am sure we will stay in touch.

Eline Hofstra

This is Eline Hofstra. She is a student at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag where she studies with Enno Voorhorst. I know she plays beautifully because every now and then she comes to our house to try out a new program or to rehearse for competitions. I have known her since she was a little girl and I have seen her growing up into this charming young lady. This picture was taken last Summer when she came by to have her guitar repolished. At the end of the month she will celebrate her 21st birthday!
