Go here to see many more player/horn combinations:

Most likely, each of these players tried a large number of horns before they found the one that worked best for them.
Wayne Bergeron seems to have shifted from the Kanstul to the Yamaha because Yamaha PAID him to endorse their product, which looks like a clone of the Kanstul that can be mass produced.
