“The first time I picked up a .strandberg* was actually when I purchased my very first Boden OS6 in 2015. I was immediately taken aback and fell in love with the headless design and forward-thinking approach to ergonomics. Ola has created a special line of instruments which have been a dream to play, and I hope to continue playing them for many, many years to come."
