Rene Laanen Gallery

René Laanen with Dr. Boni Rietveld (June, 2024)
Dr. A. B. M. (Boni) Rietveld, Orthopedic surgeon & musician, he used to take trumpetlessons from my father Theo Laanen at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. During that period, Boni bought my father's “Besson D/Eb trumpet” and had it restored by Atelier Pfeiffer in The Hague. On June 20, 2024 I received this trumpet as a gift from Boni Rietveld in memory of my father who passed away 24 years ago. What a pleasant surprise. My thanks to Boni Rietveld.
