KEN PARKER (US)
" I had a great time, and I hope that I also was able to help encourage some young
(and even not-so-young) builders to take some risks and try some new/old things.
I was so impressed with the level of good work and the intelligence of the staff and students.
Also it was delightful to hear so many fine players. It was a privilege to be a part of the CordeFactum! Thank you again for inviting me." Ken Parker
PAUL FISCHER (UK) :
"May I say how much I enjoyed my time at Corde Factum. Everyone was great and most helpful. Of the school's work I witnessed at the exhibition, I can honestly say that the standard was of the highest I have ever seen from any college, so for me the experience was refreshing and I send my congratulations to teachers and students. Please pass on my thanks and good wishes to all your colleagues for their hard work, courtesy and friendship." / Paul Fischer.
MURIEL ANDERSON (US)
"The Centrum voor Muziekinstrumentenbouw is an unique organization, and I am honored to have participated in their Cordefactum festival. This is one of the few places in the world that offers such a selection of fine instruments from renowned builders as well as student builders in an environment that the instruments can be auditioned by professional and amateur players alike in a natural acoustic setting. The workshops and concerts give inspiration for the world of the guitar, from the construction to the performance of the instrument. I sincerely hope this festival can be expanded and I look forward to participating again in the near future." // M.A.
