Jonas has developed a ring (silver or gold) which is mounted inside the head joint of the flute improving the sound quality and response (Jonas' rings, www.jonasrings.just.nu).

The Stockholm Wind Symphony
is one of Sweden´s oldest orchestras, founded in 1906. For the first 94 years, however, it was known as the "Stockholm Tramways Band". The orchestra appeared as a result of cooperation between the Stockholm Tramways and the Swedish Tramway Association - Section 1. First, a Brass Sextet was formed and this rapidly grew into a complete band. From the year 2000, the Stockholm Wind Symphony has operated under the aegis of the Stockholm County Council. The orchestra is Stockholm's only and Sweden's largest non-military professional symphonic wind orchestra, with 45 musicians.
