This reaction we received from Mr. Stephen Jones, who we met this year (2008) at the ITG (International Trumpet Guild) conference in Banff, Canada:
“Dear Heidrun,
Please tell Hub van Laar that I am very much enjoying my new trumpet. I think the intonation is exceptionally good, and it is very responsive in all registers. I like the tone quality very much. Thank you, Mr. van Laar!
… I like this horn so much that someday I will want to try out all of the models of C trumpets.”
