„Meine Holzwäg-Snare Sipo 14x7 ist unglaublich, ich spiele beinahe nur noch dieses Instrument. In den unterschiedlichsten Kontexten ist sie meine erste Wahl. Sie ist ein Meisterwerk.“

„Andreas Hinz is a real "Master Drum Maker". I've played his beautiful 13" snare drum in a variety of rooms and musical contexts and I enjoyed it enormously. It sounds great in many different ways - with a low or high tuning. It always has a very precise response and warm colorful sound. And it is unique: this is not mass production. It's also amazing how light the snare is! It is so easy and comfortable to carry... I think this particular model is great for studio and small rooms and acoustic settings, but of course with amplification it can be used anywhere.Andreas works with top quality wood and hardware, taking his time to build drums that are a work of art. They not only sound amazing and are a pleasure to play, they also look beautiful with a real timeless style and elegance.“
