Paul Isom Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 A long shot! I am visiting Breda next week for a meeting and will have a few hours to kill afterwards. Does anyone know of any decent book and music shops in the vicinity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_L Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 In keeping with the customs of the board I won't answer your question!!! Not sure about music shops - I 'googled' "Music shop - Breda", as I'm sure you did, and several places came up - with websites! One was a 'drum salon' the rest seemed to be leaning more towards the more contemporary popular style of music!! If I had a couple of spare hours to spend I would make my way to the Grotekerk to see the four manual Flentrop put in there in 1969. It is quite stunning. http://orguesfrance.com/BredaGroteKerk.html There is also the orgue du choeur from 1778 by Strumphler which is rather spectacular - in a very different way! It was originally a house organ. The Kathedrale Kerk has a two manual organ by Loret dating from 1858 About 12km away there is Oosterhout with several interesting instruments. Beware though. The Dutch are closing quite a few 'public' places because of the Coronavirus - you may be unlucky!! I haven't been to Breda for a very long time. The last time I was there was because of taking a wrong turning on the Antwerp ring-road!!! Enjoy your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
