They both have there strengths and weaknesses, but in the "resonateing catagory", Kanstul definatly has the upperhand... |

I just feel like starting a friendly argument...
Every horn out there has it's own sound when played through correctly. Of course, every players plays differently, so every horn will be interpretted differently. Just throwing that out thar.
IMHO, the top three resonating horns (other than the Stage 1 NY which I place in a league above), are the Yamaha Xeno, the Bach Strad, and the Kanstul 1503.
The Xeno, when rung, is very "hot," and almost hissy feeling, but not too overboard. Its really fun to listen to a REALLY competent player just lay it out on one, let me tell ya!
The Strad, when rung, is smooth, yet sharp. The 42 is much closer to the Xeno is sound, but I think the Xeno is better. I haven't tried the 74 yet. The 37 is right in between.
The Kanstul, when rung, is resonantly dark. Amazing to listen to, though you have to approach it differently because of the more open bell.
I actually plan on trying out some pea-shooter trumpets when I get the chance. Just to see how a smaller trumpet feels, and if I like it!
If you spend time focusing on blowing the horn to its fullest, before expecting it to happen immediately, you will love EVERY horn you play.
You'll also end up a complete geek like me.
Peace out,
