Chicago Symphony Orchestra magazine: "Chicago has several firms capable of adjusting and maintaining top-level instruments, including Carl Becker & Son, John K. Becker & Co., Bein & Fushi and the Guadagnini Violin Shop — all of which are in the Fine Arts Building, 410 S. Michigan — and Kenneth Warren & Son Ltd., 40 N. Wells."

WBBM Newsradio: "For Lu, music runs in the family."

Chicago Symphony Orchestra Magazine: "Those upgrades created what the violist called a “quantum leap” in the sound. Because Lu was trained a violinist, he could play the instruments himself and then quickly sense the problem."

Chunyee graduated from the Chicago School of Violin Making in May 1993.
