AusinWinds makes a horn that takes everything about the ZeuS and WildThing and puts them into 1 horn. Its called the Stage40LT. Heavy leadpipe with light body and large 5.25" bell. Large bore with minimal bracing. You can also get a Bronze bell on the thing. I love the bronze bell horn, i can use it for EVEYRTHING. It can play like the concept TT or the MF Monette or a Mt. Vernon back to back. I love everything about it, and the company is great to work with. I HIGHLY recommend you check out AustinWinds. They are also cheaper than the ZeuS horns, and you don't have to deal with the ZacharyMusic company. The Wild thing plays like my Kanstul 1600, it only really does well with lots of energy and upper register. Rex Merriweather plays one and sounds great, then again he doesnt do much other than high-note playing. The Stage40LT feels like the Monette XLT horn when I need it, and like the Prana 3 when i need it. Its the best of both worlds. Check them out!
