| About us |
Ronald Wick Fluitbouw is
the name of the woodwind-workshop that was founded in january
1988 in 's Hertogenbosch, the Netherlands. Started as repair-service
it developed into a place for hand-made recorders and flutes
in the traditional way, with "affiliates" in Switzerland (Thun) and later
France. Besides copying of early woodwind we develop new instruments
based on historical examples. The recorders and flutes have
found their way to music-lovers around the world. Where? Just
pass your mouse over the worldmap to see where a part of our
instruments went to. The list has become too long to be complete,
but it gives you an impression.  
Ronald Wick began his training repairing flutes, clarinets, and saxes
in 1980. In 1984 he started copying historical instruments.
After a few courses with Alec Loretto and a training in Israel
he founded his own workshop. He has made more than 1200 new instruments
and repaired or restored more than 1500 flutes and recorders
of various makers/brands. For those scientists among you who
want to know how many that is per year: you may calculate yourself:
from the first delivery in 1988 until now is more than 22 years ! |
