Christian, der königliche Kronprinz von Dänemark feierte kürzlich seinen ersten Geburtstag. Jonna und John Godtfredsen der Stadt Ringe beglückten ihn mit einem kleinen Geschenk - einem Akkordeon aus dem Hause Pigini/Excelsior Italien.
“Wir möchten damit darauf hinweisen, daß Ringe eine Musikstadt ist” erklärt Jonna Godtfredsen, der sich in dieses kleine Akkordeon auf der frankfurter Musikmesse verliebte. Der Akkordeonhersteller Pigini/Excelsior offerierte zur Hälfte dieses Geschenk.
Ringe's Goldschmiedgeschäft Bona Dea wird auf einer Silberetikette den Namen und Geburtstag des Prinzen eingravieren und hoffentlich wird dieser so wie sein Urgroßvater König Frederick, der ein anerkannter Pianist und Orchesterdirektor, auch er ein Musikliebhaber werden.
