Percussion: |
Other Manufacturers: |
| each instrument
personally custom built by Matt Coe. |
Instruments built in 'assembly-line' fashion
by several individuals. |
| Every single
part of the instrument is manufactured in our facility, for the
highest quality control. |
Often times parts are 'subbed-out' to other
companies to make. This makes the construction time quicker, but
many times lowers quality. |
| You can call
or email Matt Coe at any time to talk about YOUR instrument. |
Have to deal will a network of 'dealers'
and usually can not even call the factory where the instrument was
made. If you can call them directly you can not speak to the
'one guy' who made your instrument. |
| You get a
personal construction 'web-site' where you can watch the progress of
your instrument from start to finish. |
Nothing like this available. |
| Instruments are
custom-built to your exact specifications, and the options are nearly
endless. |
You have to take what is offered. |
| All instrument frames are
intentionally 'over-built' for the utmost in strength and durability.
Nothing wobbles or rattles. |
Wobbly and rattle-filled frames that don't last. |
| Brass resonators are
polished to a mirror finish and clear powder-coated. Powder coat
is the most durable finish available. |
Rare to find a company that polishes brass to a mirror
finish (usually they are scratch-brushed because it is quicker).
No other manufacturer clear powder-coats. (they use lacquer that
is not as durable) |
| Every resonator tube is
tune-able. |
Only a few are tune-able in most cases, or the entire
bank of tubes can be adjusted. This is not as accurate. |
| Personal care and attention
in all aspects of business provided exclusively and uniquely by Matt
Coe. |
