Comments from some of our recent customers

The Bach 37* arrived yesterday and I practiced on it today and everything is fine. It was a pleasure doing business with you.

I wanted to let you know that my son really likes the trumpet and has enjoyed playing it.   He showed it to his trumpet teacher and he thought it was a very nice instrument and in great condition.  So, all in all we're very happy with it and glad to have done business with you.

Thanks again!

 Just wanted to acknowledge receipt of your trumpet this afternoon. One hundred percent just as you described - no dents, no dings, no scratches and with a case to match. You probably have heard of the annual egg drop from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Tower. I think they should raise the bar to the level of a trumpet and your packing job would certainly stand the test. Even the gorilla on the luggage commercials, who most likely is an ex-UPS employee in costume and obviously hired for his qualifications, would have had a hard time trying to destroy the contents of your package.  So just to reiterate that  I am certainly quite pleased.

It's a great playing Strad and probably the last horn I'll ever need.
Thanks for your help finding me a great horn!
I've owned Calicchios , Benges , and Shilkes and they all are agile , responsive , and had an open upper register , but just didn't have that core sound . This Bach has all of those qualities and that "to die for" core Bach sound .

I received the trumpet yesterday.  It looks and plays great!.  I am extremely please with the horn.  Also, you were extremely and reasonable to deal with, which made this much easier.  I will definitely be recommending Centex Brass to anyone who is in the market for a quality horn.  Thank you so much and it was a pleasure doing business with you.

Yes, the horn arrived in excellent condition and thanks so much for the gig bag you sent it in. Played it at a couple of gigs and found it to be a really good playing horn (I had one like this years ago.) Quite a difference between the Selmer and the Bach 37 I have been using............I like the Selmer better. Thanks and I hope to do business with you again.

In addition, we've played Olds since 1976 and love the quality and craftsmanship of these wonderful horns. We currently have Bach, Benge, Olds, and Conn trumpets and cornets in our collection.
