The Music Shop and Benny Jolink from 'Normaal'

Bennie Jolink from the band Normal is also present in the music store! Bennie Jolink was born in Hummelo, in the Achterhoek, near Doetinchem. From 2016 Bennie Jolink no longer gave performances due to health reasons.

The Music Store and 'Trio Hellenique'

The Trio Hellenique is visible and present in De Muziewinkel:

However, who are 'Trio Hellenique'?
The source 'Wikipedia' indicates:
“Trio Hellenique is a Greek trio that specializes in Greek Sirtaki music, adapted for a Western audience. They are best known for the hit 'The dance of Zorba'. Their version and that of Duo Akropolis and Mikis Theodorakis were listed together in the Veronica Top 40”.
I had to look it up, it didn't immediately turn on a light, but when I found the song 'The dance of Zorba' on Youtube, I knew it and I think everyone did. It's this number:

The Music Store and 'Frankenstein'

The scary monster Frankenstein also appears in De Muziewinkel and he plays the flute there:

What is Frankenstein's story?
The story stems from a book that was written in 1818. The story has its origins with the British writer Mary Shelley. She published her book Frankenstein in 1818, a story about a scientist, Victor, who discovers a way to bring inanimate matter to life.
What is the name of Frankenstein's monster?
Shelley's Frankenstein is also seen as the first example of science fiction. The name Frankenstein is sometimes associated as a literary character with the monster in this novel. However, the monster has no name and Frankenstein refers to the scientist Victor Frankenstein, the creator of the monster.

Short summary of the story with Frankenstein in it

In this world-famous and often filmed story by Mary Shelly, we meet the physicist Victor Frankenstein, who has a very special story to tell. Frankenstein is after a monster. Not just any monster, but a creature he himself created and brought to life, now spreading fear and destruction all over the world! Despite looking terribly scary, the monster actually has a very gentle and sweet character. He would love to look normal and make friends, but he is condemned to live lonely and alone, because everyone is afraid of him and drives him away. Enraged and torn with grief, the monster sets out to find his maker to prove he's not a monster...or is he?

The Music Shop and Freddie Mercury from 'Queen'

Freddie Mercury was the lead singer of the band Queen. Born in 1946 and died in 1991. He passed away from Aids.

The Music Shop and Lee Towers with his Gold Microphone?

Yes, Lee Towers in the Music Store, with his gold microphone! Lee Towers was known for the gold microphone he always used during his performances.

The Music Shop and ZZ Top

ZZ Top is an American rock band from Houston, formed in 1969 by Billy Gibbons.

The Music Shop and AC/DC

AC/DC is an Australian rock band from Sydney. Nice detail: The group is named after the electricity that is indispensable to produce hard pop music: AC and DC. Note: it is almost invisible in the photo, but in black you can see the letters AC/DC.

Laying the puzzle

I made this puzzle on an neoprene puzzle mat from Puzzlup up to 3000 pieces† Very ideal, is a very large puzzle mat and all the pieces fit on it. As you can see I have already sorted out the straight edges:

There is also a poster with the puzzle, that is always the case with a 2-in-1 combo box, because the image on the box is then very small. Hence always a poster with the 2-in-in combi box and the 3-in-1 combo box† You can clearly see how large the enclosed poster is, namely a bit smaller than the box. The puzzle box by Jan van Haasteren 1000 pieces has a size of 37 centimeters x 27,5 centimeters – the poster is therefore a bit smaller:

Also with this puzzle I didn't take many pictures (unfortunately!) and that is mainly because I did puzzles in the evening. Then the picture will not be so nice and clear. What was very difficult in any case, those were all the blue-ish walls in the music store. They looked very much alike. A challenge in itself. I started looking for the same colors together:

And as I mentioned, few pictures were taken unfortunately, I have already completed the puzzle here. Have to say that it was still a very nice puzzle, at first it seems quite boring and simple, but there are really a lot of details in it. Waited until the very last to put the pieces of the tire in the white clothing. It was very difficult to put:

And finally being able to complete the puzzle, very nice and again the compliments for Rob Derks!

How long will it take you to complete this 1000 piece puzzle?

I made the puzzle 'Music Shop' in peace and took several days to complete it. Beautifully made on a puzzle mat on the floor in the living room. I do take the time, but not very precisely, it remains a hobby that puzzles! But to give you an idea of ​​how long it took me to complete this 1000 piece JvH puzzle:

• Explaining the pieces: 25 minutes
• Laying the edges = 25 minutes
• Laying the rest of the pieces = 6 hours and 30 minutes
• So it took me a total of 7 hours and 25 minutes to complete this puzzle. That is faster than it takes me on average over a JvH jigsaw puzzle, namely about 8 hours. I have to admit that sometimes I forgot to write down the time. So it will be about right. In any case, the puzzling was a lot of fun and that's the most important.

About Jumbo puzzles

Jumbo (not to be confused with our supermarket Jumbo!) makes toys, games and puzzles. Jumbo, for example, has made the very well-known games such as “Human don't get annoyed” and “Stratego” and “PimPamPet”. Games that have been around for generations and are still widely played by both young and old. Jumbo has been making and developing toys since about 1900. In the early years of the company, only toys from other countries were imported to the Netherlands. However, since about 1930 it was decided to also make their own toys, at the time manufacturing wooden toys, which was very popular at the time. Almost all toys in those years were made of wood. An important spearhead was that the toys made by Jumbo had to be of very good quality; it had to be as strong as an Elephant. An elephant had to stand on it! The red elephant has been the hallmark of Jumbo's games and puzzles for years. The name Jumbo and the red elephant together form the logo from about 1935. The Jumbo elephant is drawn by Mr. Möhr. He worked at an advertising agency and regularly signed for Hausemann & Hötte. Mr Möhr was at one point commissioned to design a beautiful new elephant logo for the Hausemann & Hötte toys. The logo has changed a bit since then. For example, the eye has grown over the years and has dropped slightly more, resulting in a friendlier elephant.

In the past, the elephant was not only used in the color red, but in all kinds of colors such as blue, yellow, black, white and green. All those colors were cozy and playful. For example, one time there was a yellow elephant on the box and the other time a red one. It was usually looked at which color best matched the color of the box. It was not until the end of the 60s that the red elephant was definitively chosen. Red is a color that stands out and attracts attention.

From 1945 Jumbo also started to focus on games made of cardboard. Jumbo has therefore been a guarantee for strong quality for years! Jumbo is a unique Dutch company with a rich history, with its head office in Zaandam. About 130 employees work for Jumbo. With a turnover of €75 million, Jumbo is a medium-sized European player in toys. Jumbo has sales offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the United Kingdom. They export to more than 25 countries around the world.

In 1980 Jumbo starts the production of Jan van Haasteren Puzzles.
