| Patrick, sorry man your story just does not ring true. You are saying the complete opposite to what others and my customers say about the ZeuS G every day. Yes, I stand by what I said a long time ago. The ZeuS G will match any trumpet at any price. Just make sure you are comparing trumpets with the same specifications.
This just came in today: See what I mean.
“I havent stopped talking about the ZeuS Guarnerius. After four years of playing on a Bach Strad model 47, it was as if there was a whole new world power of trumpets in town. And there's one BETTER (Olympus), you say? That is hard to believe, but I sure do!! My friends are all tired of hearing about how I got to play the best trumpet in the world. Keep up the unmatchable work!
Dave”
Leigh, I agree with everything you say. I build handcrafted guitars so I know exactly what you business is about so don’t think for a moment that I don’t appreciate the fine work that you do. One thing I would object to however is that a $1000 trumpet is not a “cheap” trumpet. Where I come from, that’s actually a lot of money and should buy a world class instrument and with ZeuS it does. I have the opportunity to market and sell any product I want but I chose to make my products affordable. I like to cater to all musicians who appreciate my products, regardless of how rich they are.
Jessie, you are correct, I have seen my evil ways and will discontinue offering my NO Interest payment plan immediately. It was truly cruel of me to take advantage of all those poor unsuspecting people who are now faced with huge credit card interest payments and will probably be ruined for life because of their ZeuS purchase. For anyone reading this who is currently doing the payment plan, I demand payment in full immediately in order to save you from paying interest on your credit cards. i am doing this because I care.
I also am guilty of enticing destitute people in becoming ZeuS dealers. How they came up with the cash to buy the initial 3 instruments, I will never know. They probably had to engage in serious illegal activity to do it. I hate to think what terrible crimes ZeuS is responsible for. Now I call that dedication to the ZeuS brand.
I do have some good news however. This is what happened today:
I sold a flugel ARL to a repeat customer.
I sold an Olympus AGX to a new customer. It will be a new finish (brushed gold with polished gold trim)
I sold 2 instruments to a new customer, an Olympus ABL, and a Flugel ARL.
I signed up a new dealer (also on welfare) who will be sending by FedEx the payment in full for 3 instruments. Olympus S, ZeuS C RL, ZeuS Bb RL.
I also got a serious inquiry about another possible C purchase and another for an Olympus purchase.
I called the factory to double my flugel order I placed a few days ago.
The day is not finished yet.
So anyone who can beat this please speak up, I want to learn your style.
