Freddie and Steve have developed a relationship during his custom process.  Freddie has told Steve some of these things "Tell somebody" "Every trumpet player needs to know who you are because your craftsmanship is incredible"  "I hope you're ready to be trumpet famous" "I'm glad Wynton Marsalis doesn't know who you are because if he had one of your horns I wouldn't walk on stage with him..."  "Your builds play mistake free... if a mistake happens out of these horns...  it's on the player and not the instrument"
