The old Steinway has to make room for a beautiful, exclusive Fazioli from Italy. Oh my god what an instrument! Beautifully balanced, wonderful sound and dynamics I’ve hardly ever experienced!

Håvard's secret fly box

During the tour we had moments when the fishing was really slow. At one of the fishing trips, in the middle of a Norwegian night there were certainly… Read more »
