Robert Bekkers plays a 2005 Hilhorst concert guitar, custom-designed for the duo.
When interviewed for this website, the Amsterdam-based luthier Jeroen Hilhorst said, "The design of the guitar is 150 years old and modern research shows that the design is very inefficient. Over the years I have found ways to eliminate the most important inefficiencies. This has resulted in a guitar with a powerful and beautiful tone, that can be an equal partner for the piano."
The photo on the right was taken after the premiere of Lan-chee Lam's "Drizzle" which makes use of the inside of the piano.
