I'm not naive ... and I don't want this to become a ZeuS vs. Wild Thing thread. But to call Kanstul quality "not comparable to the very best" is interesting. I tweak every trombone I sell. I clean the slide, adjust the alignment if necessary. Never had a trombone slide straight from the factory be perfect - they at least pick up junk in the shipping process. Tweak is an interesting word.
Dave, I know you have an axe to grind -- and perhaps some good reasons for it. But I don't. I believe in the ZeuS line. Players love the horns. It may not be for you --OK. But I certainly have not had a problem with any ZeuS product. According to your signature you don't own a Wild Thing (maybe you do -- I don't really know).
I certainly will not call people names or insult another brand. Will I point out facts? - certainly. Will I "sell" my line? -- certainly. If I didn't believe in this line, I would not sell them. I will not become a millionaire selling ZeuS horns -- I must do it for other reasons. And that is true for me and the other dealers.
Back on topic ... The ZeuS payment plan still is better than 21% charge card. That was the main point I was trying to make.
