“My Widenhouse is a beautiful instrument which I have played on since my days as a student at the Curtis Institute of Music.  The ease with which it plays, together with the quality and diversity of sound it delivers, have enabled me to express myself freely and blend into any musical setting.  It feels like a simple extension of me – which allows me to enjoy performing that much more.”

 

Jinny Leem

The Philadelphia Orchestra;

former concertmaster, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra
