| Jack,
GREAT ARTICAL!!! That's the one I was asking about!
I play the trumpet made by Tony Scodwell in Las Vegas, NV. As you know (I post this as a complement to "Kanstul" and for readers) Tony gets the 'raw' parts from Kanstul. Bells, leadpipes, valve clusters etc., then assembles each trumpet, one buy one himself.
I have owned 4 Scodwell trumpets total the last 4 years. Two of which I had a personal hand in, from the 'raw materials' stage, help making. Oddly enough both of these horns I personaly sent to you all at Kanstul to have silver plated. I have to say a first class job was done in both cases!
My personal custom Scodwell #0105, silver plated, I still have & will never part with. The other #0106 (originally made for Doc) I sold to a gentleman in SF area, to buy ... yes another "SCOD" ... #0085 from a friend in Las Vegas. #0085 was gold plated there at Kanstul some time ago. Great job!
To readers: Kanstul's attention to detail, be it on their own intruments or some one elses, is impeckable! Jack ... Great work comes from your fathers facility. I have spoken with him a number of times to convey this to him.
My best to you all at Kanstul, and thanks for great work!
Regards
