| I'd concur with your experience, ja. I had a chance to try two (one French made and one Kanstul) against each other... both with the Najoom but different bell weights and finishes. They were both nice and open. The store wanted too much for them though. I think that a Kanstul-built one would be a great pickup for $used in this day and age.
If you ARE a Bach player, be prepared for the more open blow...it'll throw you until you get used to it (much like Schilke did for me until I adapted). |
