"The Kohlert is back home and it is fantastic!!! I got goose bumps when removal of the protective material revealed the sop for the first time and I began to absorb the beauty of every etch, every cut, every line. The more I stared at your artwork, the more I discovered. Even someone else pointed out the engraving on the lyre screw head. I went around the office showing it to a few of my co-workers and they are amazed at your talent and couldn't believe you did everything manually with hand tools only. I can't wait to see the looks on the
other sax players faces when I remove it from the case this Thursday night at band rehearsal." - Rob F.

"Jason!!  I just saw the Passion movie last week and thought it would be a long time until I was speechless again...I was wrong!!  Beautiful is so much an understatement!!  Unbelieveable!! Breathtaking!! Absolutely Wonderful!! Tears of joy, my friend...that's what are falling right now...tears of joy!!  You are the best!!  God has blessed you with an incredible talent!!  Thank you for making a dream come true!!" - Bill C.

"I know that the sound is more important than the looks, but to me, playing a horn with beautiful engraving just adds to the pleasure.Your engraving is superb! I'm glad to  see the art is not lost." - Sam A. 

"The engraving that you did on my Vito tenor is absolutely beautiful.  I could not be more pleased.  I must say that you are quite an artist.  Your artwork is truly extraordinary.  I'm very, very happy with what you've done; the engraving surpassed my expectations completely.  I want to thank you very much for taking the time to do such an exceptional job for me, and I also want to let you know that it has been a pleasure doing business with you.  I have enjoyed corresponding with you very much.  I will make sure that my musical acquaintances see your artwork, and, hopefully, I will help to send some more engraving business your way.  Very best wishes for a great summer, and thanks again very much."  - Sam W.

"I received the sax today in good shape.  It is absolutely beautiful.  These days if work is done as good as you expected, it is unusual...but this job you did on the Mark  VI is far better than I had hoped for.   Absolutely gorgeous.  Thanks  a million. "  - David H.  (Re-engraved his relacquered Mark VI alto and added the engraving in the second photo in the original Selmer style)

"It's absolutely beautiful!"  (1 week later: "Still getting lots of ooooohss and aaaaahhhs with the Soprano.") - John D.  (Requested his soprano be engraved with the same motif as his Selmer Balanced Action)

 

"It's really something to be proud of. I'm still admiring it.  It's like shock and awe..." - William S..  (Requested his Selmer Super Action 80 Series II soprano be engraved with and angel and butterflies)

 

"Oh my God Jason, that is so great. That is seriously, a piece of work. That should be on your page.  I'm seriously speechless." - Wayne M.  (Requested his mom's flute headjoint be engraved with and angel and the number 40 for her 40th birthday)

 

"Seeing Jason's work up close, though, this is really, really gorgeous. You can't even begin to get it in the photos. This is bar none my most beautiful sax that I'll likely ever own." - Tim D.

"I just had my Prestini Classic alto engraved by Jason DuMars and the results are beautiful. I think this engraving rivals many of the classics. I asked Jason to use some restraint which he did, and in this case just right for what I like. We limited the engraving to both sides of the bell, both sides of the bow, and inside the bell rim at my request. The horn plays better than when I shipped it out. Amazing what a couple weeks with the keys wedged closed will do for seating the pads really well." - Jerry K.
