    Gert, what a beautiful video of your family. It lets us know something about the outstanding young man behind the music and how you have become the best organist, in my opinion, in the world. Thank you for sharing your life with us and may God keep you and your family safe and healthy.

    Gert, you remembered me how excited I was in further time on a piano and my keyboard, later on at the organ in my church. Every time working with an instrument was a lucky time. After seeing lots of videos from you I re-started to practice at my old keyboard, and I hope in some time I will have the second chance to play at my favorite organ again. Thank you very much for your motivation - for bringing back the motivation to me. All good wishes for you and your family.

    Gert the first time I listened to one of your videos, as I watched you play I told me wife, "This man has been touched by God. The emotion you put into your music is so deep and profound and I think how God is using you to bring joy to millions of viewers. Your little boy is angelic and looks so much like you at that age. He is absolutely precious. God be with you always and continue playing your music for in doing so you are blessing those of us who can't play but who receive blessing when we listen to you.

There is a saying "behind every great man stands a great woman". Here you acknowledge the contribution Marjolein makes not only to your performances but as a mother and wife. You are a wonderful family and we appreciate your efforts in the world of music.

    This was perfect timing, to learn more of you and your family while staying inside! I absolutely LOVE your organ music, the King of Instruments, and play them again and again. If I paid you 5 cents for every time I played one of your pieces, you would be nearing the status of Millionaire. And now to see that you and your family are well and happy gives me hope for the future and helps reassure all of us that all will be well as we move through this difficult time together. May God bless you and your family and keep you "in the palm of His hands."

    Before I retreat to bed with COVID-19 (both I and my husband have it) I - the 'junior' organist at my village church - wanted to send the UA-cam video of your live-registratie van Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Sinfonia uit oratorium Solomon van Georg' Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) tijdens de opname van je CD 'Reprise' in de Sint-Martinuskerk, Dudelange to my principal organist to give him something wonderful and cheering to listen to and watch you play. He is, along with all other old people in the UK, in self-quarantine against this dreadful virus and I can think of no more optimistic, uplifting gift while he is isolated. And so, via this route, I came to see this lovely video which you have just posted. Thank you for it; it is a warm and enthusiastic glimpse into your world. And thank you above all for the recitals and recordings which you take the time to put on UA-cam, which are such a joy to listen to and, incredible inspiration as we practise alone in our freezing country churches around Europe and think of your incredible footwork and mastery of our instrument! May God bless you and your family and keep you safe and well!

There's plenty of mechanical-action organs around the Netherlands, and not all builders thereof implement ideal ergonomics for drawknob placement (e.g. Pedaal left, Rugpositief right, and Hoovdwerc and Bovenwerc overhead at a three-61-note-manual/32-note-concave-parallel-pedalboard keydesk) in their new-builds.

You, Marjolean, and the baby express the embodiment of a lovely Christian family. The inclusion of your grandfather as the source of your commitment to organ performance (and practice) explains well the passion you have inherited through his nurturing and instilling to you those organ skills.
