Mike, Don and the rest of the gang,
You don't need to read bass clef. The horn is like your trumpet(only much bigger :o ) pitched in Bb and sounds an octave lower than your trumpet. Just like a piccolo trumpet only going in the opposite direction. 8) Like all Kanstul instruments it first of all RESONATES like no other brasswind. That makes playing it easy and enjoyable, so you can concentrate on the music. Second it is balanced perfectly so you can actually hold it up(weighs only 4 lbs.) Finally and most important IT PLAYS IN TUNE. :P That's because nobody knows how to get control of a tapered tube and line things up like my father. I encourage you to give one a try. I keep them in stock for just that reason. If you get one you will wonder how you ever got through a gig on a bass trumpet. Give me a call. 480-753-3468
To The Intonation-On any Kanstul Brasswind it's Incredible!

P.S. Don give me a call. I might have a plan to where you won't have to CONN your way. It will be KANSTUL all the waaaay.
