My new Horn

Just got one myself, yesterday. I have a couple of other, more expensive instruments and strangely enough, this is the horn I am picking up. Easy to play, slightly dark, thick sound. I cannot argue that this may be the best deal out there. My plan is to use this investment into a different Kanstul horn in the future. But it does play beautifully. Perhaps I'll end up with this AND the Signature Series I want. Is it possible to have to many great instruments?

The horn is obviously carefully put together. Everything fits perfectly and works as it should. I think Kanstul can't help doing a great job on assembly. The finish on little things like valve caps is not what it is on my expensive (also Kanstul manufacture) horn. But for $40/Month! I wish when I was young and had to rent instruments, I had a quality horn like this to play. The terrible things I put up with when in High School Band could give nightmares.

I also dont see the beauty of the third slide ring, but I'll deal with it. I have already told Jack I am keeping this horn. At least until I have the change to call and order my Custom Signature Horn.

Oh, I don't love the case, but a new Pro-tech is what $60?

I hope this helps.
