About us
Friso Heidinga () is the owner and founder of Amsterdam Winds. Originally a scientist, working on a PhD in neurobiology, and repairing instruments on the side in a shop in Edam, he gradually discovered his goal in life wasn't science, but musical instruments.
In 2002 he decided to change his career path from science to music and founded Amsterdam Winds. Amsterdam Winds rapidly grew out to be one of the best known wind instrument and repair shops in Europe, with customers of the likes of Chris Potter, Joe Lovano, Mark Turner, Branford Marsalis, James Carter and Eddie Daniels.
