After the passing of Luuk Goldhoorn in December, now we had to say
goodbye to another good friend, Hendrik Strengers. Henk has helped
us many times in the museum, with numerous advices and with a nice chat
every time he was with us. Not only about his beloved Kalliope music
boxes, but about nearly every mechanical music instrument he knew to
tell a good story. He was awarded by the MBSI for his knowledge and
articles.
The staff in museum Speelklok, and myself, knowing him for a very long
time, will miss him, and lost a great source of knowledge. His archives
are now safe in the museums library.
