"Hello Mr. Schmelzer, My name is Matthew Echols, and I first want to tell you that your company is by far, the best in the world. I am a trombonist in the United States Navy. I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I have been playing the trombone for 26 years, and I can honestly say that I have never heard, seen, or played on a better trombone, than my model number 3.
I purchased mine back in 1998, after an extrememly long and painful search for the perfect horn, I am so happy that I found it. It still plays beautifully. I have also convinced all of my trombone buddies that the Schmelzer trombone is the one for them, they all want one! "

"... I write to tell you how wonderful your instrument is, and to thank you for building such a fine trombone. ... First of all the instrument is beautiful. It's practically a work of art. The care and craftmanship you put into the horn is obvious.... The sound of Schmelzer model 2 gets is unique. Words like smooth, pure, rich yet complex only gets in the way of describing a truly magnificent horn.
Perhaps the greatest compliment I can pay you is the compliment I received from my collegues after they heard me play your horn. "That horn sounds real easy to play".
I found that one of the strengths of your instruments is its high range. What an effortless joy to play the Schmelzer Model 2...."

Hi Manni, here a short message from Holland.

As you know, for the last four days we enjoyed the international JazzFestival in our hometown Breda again. I had to play all days and again got many compliments regarding your trombone. Fellow musicians came to me telling me they liked the rich, clear and warm sound. And one tromboneplayer especially was very jealous of the engravements on the sterling sliverbell.
As you know, the same thing happened to me last time I was in England when Max Collie of the Max Collie Rhythm Aces came to me asking if my trombone was from that guy in Germany. He also was very charmed with the sound and he was amazed that I could produce a very warm sound in the very low register( pedal F) with the small bell my trombone has. Long live sterling silver.
The combination of your trombone and my Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece is; for me; ameezing.

Manni, many thanks for your craftmanship and hope to see you soon.
Best regards, Peter

Hi Manfred,

I've played your Model 2 for about 12 years...always loved the horn. Now I have the Schmelzer Gold Brass bell that you recently sent to me. This bell further enhances the horn...great sound, core, & ease of playing. Manfred has made the art of trombone playing one of joy & enthusiasm.
