"...I can not be more pleased with the new GFT C trumpet you built me. She plays wonderfully at all dynamics from pp to ff without altering in sound quality and the general feel is free blowing and an exceptional tone quality that I didn't get from my previous trumpets. She plays with a big lyrical sound and just sings in all registers with slots fron one note to the other comparable to a violin or piano. I just can not say enough good things about my new GFT C, your work Ken, is just fabulous and a credit to the music profession. They are just wonderful instruments, Bravissimo Ken."

"I never thought I would ever find a better trumpet than the one I have been playing for many, many years. Although when I tried one of Ken's GFT C trumpets, I noticed an immediate improvement in tuning, response (better slots) + much more colour and depth in my sound. No matter playing the Mahler, Bruckner, Stravinsky, Mozart, Brahms or recital music, this instrument suits every style of music I have to deal with to do the job, every day of the week. Playing Ken's trumpet truly gives a new dimension to my playing. Thanks very much Ken!"

"I am happy to say that the GFT Eb trumpet, made by Ken Larson at BrassWerks, is one of the finest Eb trumpets I have ever played. When I first got the horn I jokingly sent an email to Ken saying that 'there must be something wrong...This horn plays like a trumpet!' All the elements are there with this trumpet, the sound, intonation and scales are wonderful and the resistance is just right for me to use it independently as the Eb solo instrument or as a substitute for my C trumpet in recording situations. Also... the adjustable receiver, to change the mouthpiece gap, is a great tool to add to an already great instrument. Thanks Ken for exactly what I've been looking for."

"Best D/Eb I have ever played!!" "The rich sound that you get from this D/Eb is great for solos, whether you are playing in an orchestra or in front of one. Awesome craftsmanship. Thanks Ken!"

"Ken Larson's GFT trumpets are among the very finest made today. I have three of them (the Bb, C, and Eb/D) and they all share the superior qualities that Ken's instruments are well known for: excellent pitch, great tonal balance, and accurate response. These are truly 'musical instruments' and assist the player in creating artistic performances. I couldn't be more pleased."

"Ken is a truly gifted trumpet player & an insightful designer..." "He has experienced every form of trumpet playing at a very high level. He intuitively knows what it is you are going through and he does know how to adjust your instrument to make it work for you. Ken takes the time to make sure your instrument is done right."
