“Plays great. Works really well on my Getzen bass trombone. Just what I was looking for.”

“I’m really liking the improvements on my horn! The slotting and ease of playing has improved, as well as the tone! Great product and company!”

“I received my SS GR pipe this afternoon and have got to play around an hour or two on the horn. I honestly can’t say enough about the changes it has made to the horns feel and response! I play on a Shires Q series bass, and with the stock leadpipe I felt like I was always fighting for a clear ringing sound, and could never match the sound concept in my head. I drop this puppy in and all the problems were fixed! The sound feels as if it jumps out of the horn and immediately hits the wall regardless of the dynamic, which is exactly what I want. The sound that comes out is about as close to gold rods as you can get, tons of color and tons of core. I will be very excited to test how this blends in ensembles this semester. 10/10 would definitely recommend!”

“I received the new tuning slide + sound post yesterday afternoon. Your high level of craftsmanship was quite evident when I first saw it. After playing my trumpet with your slide, the best word I can use to describe the sensation is “FREEDOM”. It has the perfect amount of resistance that seems to compact my sound as well as adding some brilliance and “bottom” (i.e. lower overtones) as well as more flexibility. I tried the sound post both on the slide and on various spots closer to the valve casing. Quite frankly, the slide plays best for me by itself. However it’s great to have the option.”

“Received my leadpipe today and I can’t put my horn down. I primarily use a B2.5L, and this new pipe changes my bass in to a different horn (a good thing!!). Articulations are crisp and pointed, and tone is extremely centered and does not spread. Workmanship is absolutely top notch and the pipe threaded into the receiver without adjustments. Excellent product that I can’t get enough of! I’ll be back for more, I’m sure.”

“The scale and feel (back pressure) are more even and the leadpipe made my playing very efficient. I could articulate very hard in all registers and the sound still held together. When my musician friends listened from about 100 feet away in a hall, they noticed that the .525B-Y had more of a presence or “sizzle” in the sound than the Mercedes 836. They also noted that I sounded like I was not working so hard on the fortes and fortissimos. The coolest thing is that they noticed the same thing on my Bach 36 and my Yamaha 683G!”

“I just played a show on my lead mouthpiece with the new callet pipe setup, and I was MORE THAN SATISFIED! WOOW! Intonation, response, upper register slotting and clarity, and great articulation, to name a few of the positive characteristics. After playing this show which is usually very taxing, I’m surprised at how great I felt toward at the end. And I’ve only played this pipe a couple hours on this setup, so I’m pleasantly surprise at how fast I became acclimated. I still would like a more open and rounded sound than what I’m getting on it, but I know that will come with more practice and getting used to. Still, I think I may purchase your other 25 pipe just to have in case I want to attach it later, but I’m going to give this pipe some more time to get used to it. You all really know what you’re doing! I appreciate your friendliness and thank you for your products and for helping me find my sound.”
