From 1982 Hubregt Bom worked in his father's, Cornelis Bom's workshop. Through the building of many harpsichords Hubregt developed craftsmanship and love for this instrument. After 25 years of production of luxury, custom-made furniture, under the name "Bom Interieurs", Hubregt again started building harpsichords in 2016.
In Memoriam
Cornelis Anthonij Bom, born in Ooltgensplaat February 19, 1938.
past away in Scheemda December 23, 2023
Cornelis was a source of inspiration for both builders and musicians.
The ideas he had about sound, partly inspired by historical organs, were clear.
Inspired by extensive researche into historical instruments, he has managed to realize his own sound ideal in his instruments through intelligence, creativity, courage and out-of-the-box thinking.
It was a privilege to build instruments with him. Making baroque violins, barockcello's, harpsichords and related instruments has given us a lot of insight into the sound-defening aspects of string instruments.
We hope to continue working in 'the spirit of' Cornelis and continue to develop our instruments in the service of music.
Hans Nieuwenhuijzen worked with Cornelis Bom on bowed instruments, harpsichord keyboards and clavichords from 1985 to 1991. He has now been employed by Bom Interieurs for more then twenty years. He continues building harpsichords and clavichords under the name 'Bom Harpsichords'.
