| This is all quite entertaining.
Alex claims all trumpets from the Kanstul factory are made with the same process. Jack Kanstul claims the Kanstul brand horns to be superior to the non-Kanstuls from the Kanstul factory. Hmm, who to believe?
Jack, Hello, can you clarify?
Here's my take. The Zeus G grabbed my attention 16 months ago because it was a Bach Strad clone at a great price ($975). But, I decided to buy it because of Kanstul's reputation as a builder, not because of the store that was selling it. I'd probably do it again, its a very fine, Strad-like horn, but there are more choices to consider now.
IMO, sure, you can occasionally find a good price here or there on a closeout or an overstock sale, but buying a Zeus G. from an online dealer is still the fastest, cheapest and most reliable way to get a Strad clone that you can confidently take to a gig right out of the box.
