"I'm really pleased with the Eb bell remount. The horn plays great and the valves are working fine. Your work is superb, and it's been a pleasure to do business with you. I won't hesitate to recommend your services.
Thanks,"

"Thanks for the great service and time you spent listening to me play and talk about the trumpet. I come from a family of master machinists so I know a little about soldering and other metalwork. The work I saw on your workbench is top notch, best soldering since I saw Steve Shires do a modification for me at Osmun Brass 20 years ago."

"Wow! What an amazing job you have done on the Harrelson!!! It is a vast improvement over the 'original' design. I guess now I'll call the horn a Harrelson/Cromer/Gnocchi horn.... Incredible workmanship!!!!! I'll admit now that I was a bit skeptical that someone as young as you could be a "seasoned" craftsman....I doubt no more!!!!
The horn looks good and SOUNDS much better too........
Thank you very much for doing an amazing job...there will be a few other of my horns coming your way..."

"I sent this horn and my Bach bell to Chris Cromer of A minor Tune Up. Chris made me a tuneable bell trumpet and added amato waterkeys. The horn is great. I love it - it has nice warm, fat sound. Chris is a excellent craftsman. His workmanship is beautiful. He has also done some great work on my Selmer Piccolo. If you are looking for a good, talented, and careful craftsman, contact Chris."

"Chris, The flugel arrived today and it looks (and feels) great! Thanks for doing a good job on it! I've let my students and colleagues know about you, so maybe they will send some work your way. I certainly will when the next project is ready."
