Hi

Our we talking about a trumpet or a " Nucelar secret " .

Seeing words like:

" Super Secret "
" Bummed "
" No-Expenses Barred " ( there is not such approiach in making a trumpet
" Pre-Planned Test Leak "
" Fools "
" Pass , Poor Judgement " ( is that really Piss. Poor Judgement ?
" Hipocresy "
" REPREHENSABLE " - that was my favorite ( without using spellcheck )

Wow , it's a trumpet and more than that, it's just one man's opinion about a trumpet.

First of all , all the trumpets at kanstuls get the same attention to detail, the same quality control , the same plating / laquering process. the same quality of material ( the highest quality that the choosen material is available ) , the same high standard of assembly , the same buffing process , the same cleaning process, etc.

I never heard any complaints on any of the sights at the level of quality , consistency and performance of any of the Kanstuls products. If you like a Kanstul, then you like it , if you don't , then you don't ,but workmanship and quality never seems to be the issue.

In fact, what I've seen most time is a great appreciation for the consistency and quality of any product in the line.

This same workmanship goes into every brand Zig Kanstul produces which include:

Wild Thing
Callet
Zeus
Lawler ( I think the bell only )
Smith / Watkins
Besson
Chicago
Bel Canto ( to bad that ones not around anymore )

Plus here is the real " Cat out of the Bag " - MONETTES !!!!!
( just kidding about that one )

Zig Kanstul and his Company have keep up with the times like no other manufacterer , he's pour big money into the latest digital technology and tooling so his and everyone else's line he builds is made to perfection with all the " bells and whistles " everyones come to expect and a consistency which is un-matched.
Also, this is more than I can say about alot of called " well established " companies have done were quality control is misererable and it the " luck of the draw " if you get a good product.

Oh by the way, I don't own or play a single Kanstul product , but I really apreciate what Kanstul has done for the brass playing community in it's very short existence ( mid 80's )

Oh . by the way , Zig Kanstul ( who I believe is in his early 70's ) is in his factory before 5:00 am every morning and doesn't leave until well after dark - SEVEN DAYS A WEEK
