Statement about your relation with Yamaha or your instrument:
The Yamaha marimba and vibraphone are more then just instruments to me; they allow me to immerse myself in the world of musical wonders, where every strike and vibration opens up a new realm and enables my creativity to soar. I still remember the day when I first experienced the Yamaha 5100 Marimba-as a student in the music school at that time, it felt like I was just about to manouevre a spaceship! I am forever thankful, that I have had an opportunity to grow as a musician with Yamaha.
How does your instrument help you in your daily life as an artist?
Being united with my Yamaha instruments daily, enhances my artistic expression and serves as an inspiration to dive deeper into the exploriation of sound colours, dynamical delicacy with all the details that are crucial steps for shaping your artistry.
How would you characterise your instrument?
Both instruments, the marimba and the vibraphone embody a fusion of warmth and clarity, producing a sound that gracefully nestles into the ear. This attests to the exeptional balance of the instrument, allowing for a higher level of every performance.
