“Lekker”?
Lekker is the Dutch word for delicious. Lekker is one of the most flexible words in Nederlands, but any use of “lekker” points towards something positive, something joyful, even inspiring. “Sounds Lekker” means a delight for your ears. The microphones we repair and purvey should all be producing very lekker tones, and if they don’t, they aren’t going to leave our workshop!
Care for the tools
All microphones are sold serviced, ready for studio or stage use. Common services include new internal foam, capsule cleaning, contact and switch cleaning, internal wiring repair, and testing. Check each microphone’s listing for specific repairs performed. In addition to services on the mics themselves, those without original cases include handmade padded mic pouches, made lovingly with recycled denim & fabrics.
