LOW KEY MUSIC
We are just absolutely amazed, and excited how the trumpet turned out. I am still talking about it. His classmates and teacher thought it was a new trumpet. They could not believe it either. I was very thankful that my parents had this done for my son since it was MY dad's in high school (45-47 years ago). I kept my mom posted everytime I would talk to you or get an email...........and would tell her that ya'll were such nice people and so 'down-to-earth'.....felt like I knew ya'll personally............THANKS again for a job VERY well done.......I just wanted to cry when I opened it up! -SS
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to ascertain that Steve Epperson of Low Key Music recently overhauled/reconditioned and re-finished my vintage (1955) Martin Committee trumpet. Mr. Epperson truly did an outstanding job at a very fair & reasonable price. He even caught some minor defects on the original instrument that I was not aware of and sent me detailed photos of those prior to commencing work.
I recommend him whole-heartedly. -EV
My mother's father, had his trumpet rebuilt by you and he gave it to me. I wanted to tell you that I love my new trumpet. It sounds really good anI'm happy and proud to be playing it. Thank you for doing a great job on it.

I am Travis' mother. My father was very excited about this project for his grandson. I know he put a lot of thought into who he entrusted with his instrument and I know he, as we are, are very satisfied with the end result. My son proudly showed off his new instrument to his bandmates
and everyone raved over it, including his instructor.
Thank you for doing such a fine job on the trumpet that not only my dad played on, but my older brother also played. It's truly a family heirloom and it has been given new life through you. -KT
I got the trumpet yesterday, 2 hours before my orchestra rehearsal. It came out better than I ever expected, and plays beautifully. I think it was money very well spent. I really appreciate the care and craftmanship your company put into the restoration. Everyone who has seen it has remarked on how beautiful it turned out. If I need any work done in the future, I can assure you that I will use Low Key Music, and will refer any other work to your company that I can. Once again, thanks, and great job! -BF
I got my trumpet yesterday and wanted to thank you for doing such a good job. I couldn't believe it was the same trumpet. I got my dad's trumpet a few weeks ago and would like to send it to you for a
complete overhaul too. It's a 1962 Olds Super. -RS
Steve, I got my horn back today. Wonderful job. Overall affect nothing short of miraculous. I know that lots of practice and rebreaking in will be required to best appreciate performance. I was very impressed with valve replating. Mouth piece buffing nice too. The O rings on the 1st and 3rd valve slides seem to be a really great idea and all the slides move better than they ever did. -HT
The trumpet arrived here around 12 noon yesterday. It's gorgeous - I wouldn't have believed it was possible for such an awful looking instrument coming out looking like a brand-new trumpet. Needless to say, my granddaughter was absolutely thrilled. -FE
After receiving my completely restored trumpet back from you all I have to say is one word...... FANTASTIC. The workmanship on rebuilding the valves, the dent removals, and the refinishing was far beyond my expectations. Please feel free to use me as a referral anytime as I would always recommend your service to anyone. I know I now have the best looking and best playing 65 year old Conn 22B in existence. -RS
Flute arrived in excellent condition. After playing it I noticed that not only did it look like new, it played better than new. Great Job!!!!!! -MG
Just a note to Thank You for the quick turn around and excellent job on my soprano! -TW
I received the clarinets on Wednesday. The R13 looks so good I had to doublecheck the serial numbers to convince myself it was made in 1959. Very nice job. -GS

The cornet arrived yesterday and looks great!! Thanks for your efforts and may God continue to bless your business and your ministry. -JH
I can't tell you how pleased I am with the results of my trumpet's overhaul. I did not think it was possible to bring my 1976 Bach Stradivarius back to life. It had been abused in a band in the bar scene for years. The dents, bends, and irregularities were countless. I was truly amazed when I opened the case. It looks and sounds just like it did when it was new. I also appreciated your timely communication and updates during the process. In short I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone. The outcome was worth every cent.

Steve, I received my cornet yesterday. You did outstanding work and I am really pleased. Even the engraving looks good. Thank you so much. Oh, the horn also plays beautifully. -WW
The C melody Wurlitzer saxophone arrived yesterday and there was no damage. The sax plays all the way down to low Bb. This is a big improvement. Thanks for your work. You were on schedule and the horn plays much better. -RWC

SUPERB job Steve! When I opened the case I just couldn’t believe this is the R13 I sent you. The intonation and overall sound is exceptional. Excellent job on keys polishing and oil treatment.

The sax is GREAT! It is totally amazing how you were able to make it new! I still haven’t gotten over how absolutely beautiful it is now…we were really at a point of just buying another horn in better shape before we came across your website
-KM
I can't believe this is my sax. It is perfect. Your workmanship goes beyond definition. Thank you for a beautiful job. I think it is better than when it was new. Even the sound it makes when I close the keys from high to low. And I can play again, effortlessly.
It brought tears to my eyes when I opened the case. Your restoration really means a lot to me.
