Candy Dulfer plays the Heidinga neck on her Free Wind alto saxophone.
“I am so happy with the saxophones Friso makes, but now he has outdone himself with adding a new neck to his collection! It not only makes my own sax sound even better, clearer and gives me even more dynamic power, it also makes other brand horns sound better. I tried it on my old Selmer Mark VI and the difference is just unbelievable.”
