Inevitable. Even Steve Shires couldn't make it on his own, so glad these
fine mouthpiece and instrument makers don't all disappear.

BTW, it appears that Kanstul is still going, does anyone know for sure?

What does this mean?? The Kanstul website shows no indication of 
shutting down.? If BAC acquired the inventory, wouldn't that bear the 
Kanstul name?

I wonder what would be the point of acquiring the products without the 
name.? I could see acquiring the tooling at the right price.? Kanstul 
made a lot of marching brass and bugles.? If BAC wanted to carry on in 
that market, then the tooling would be the key thing.? But the last time 
I visited BAC, they certainly didn't have the scale for that.? It was a 
relatively small workshop making horns one at a time.? Maybe that has 
changed a lot in recent years.

Or maybe the game plan is to keep the Kanstul name alive with a Chinese 
plant building the horns.? In that case, I would have expected the 
tooling to go to the China plant.? This isn't making a lot of sense to me.

Anybody have any further insights here?

So far as I?ve heard, Kanstul instruments will still be made in USA.

There is a very extensive thread regarding Kanstul's situation on the Trumpet Herald forums. A lot of it is speculation, but there are a few comments from people that would be expected to know a bit about what's going on. 

It is interesting to note that prominent forum member Flip Oakes hasn't chimed in yet, as his horns were built by Kanstul (and designed around a Kanstul valve block). 

I've been eyeing off a Kanstul flugel and a Wild Thing trumpet for a while. Might be the time?

Message-ID: <52481c01-f861-59d9-4552-820688ce5c91@parmerlee.com>

It is the nature of the universe that the best instruments come from 
individuals that have a singular passion.? And when those people move 
on, few instrument makers have achieved the level of stability and scale 
to carry on without them.? There are loads of examples from Vincent Bach 
to Gary Greenhoe.? I see that Hirsbrunner has shut down.? it happens.

The outcomes are varied.? Shires remained with the company but ownership 
went with Eastman. Holton, Benge and others continued to produce 
more-or-less as cash cows.? Bach was bigger and remained a market force 
under Selmer. Greenhoe remains a live brand with high quality and 
appeal, but under the direction of Schilke.

Reading between the lines (and this is total speculation on my part, but 
based on observing many such transitions,) I'd say that Zig's family 
decided operating the factory wasn't what they wanted to do. In recent 
years, most of Kanstul's business has been from marching brass 
(including bugles).? As most of these are sold to schools, price is more 
important than artist-level quality.? There are plenty of Chinese plants 
that can build the marching brass and stamp the Kanstul logo on them.

Kanstul also produced a multitude of artist-level instruments.? I 
suspect this was more of Zig's later-life pleasure as he seemed to be in 
the middle of all of those developments.? If Kanstul sold tooling to 
BAC, my guess is it was the tooling for the artist-level instruments and 
Mike will pick and choose which of these pieces to use as he expands the 
BAC offerings.? It could be a win for everybody.? The Kanstul family 
could find it a lot easier to make money branding stencil horns and BAC 
might continue and enhance some of the nicer Kanstul designs.

Linda,
Watch the video that Mike made on the
internet. It gives a great explanation of his
plans. It appears he did not buy the Kanstul
name which may have not been offered for
sale. Zig made a lot of private label items
for a lot of other manufacturers. I do own
several bells that are not engraved yet the
same as the ones that are engraved.
Mike is one of the finest craftsman and also
instrument designers in the world! He will
hire the greatest workers and train those
that are new to business.

I saw that video on Jack Kanstul?s facebook. He bought all the tooling but probably couldn?t buy the name. It?ll be a while before he gets it all to KC.

It's never too early to think about the upcoming Christmas concerts!

In order to help organizations with limited budgets for new music, I've made two of my Christmas compositions available for free download.  These were originally written for the Delaware Valley Wind Symphony.

The first piece is a set of stylistic variations on Jingle Bells called "Jingle Variations."  The second, which may be of more interest here, is a piece for low brass quartet (ideally, two euphoniums and two tubas) and band called "Christmas Tuben."  Both pieces are for an advanced high school, college or community band - but are not terribly difficult.

You can find more information on my download page at:

https://stephentroy.musicaneo.com/

The full scores and all parts are available in PDF format and computer-generated sound renditions are available.  If you download, please see the printing instructions (especially for the parts to prevent bad page turns).

Have fun with them!

Steve Troy

I made a slight change to the listing so it may take a bit for it to reappear.  Check again tomorrow.

Steven, 
Thank you for the generous offer of your music.  I found and downloaded "Christmas Tuben" but did find a link to "Jingle Variations"

I?m having an R-2 built as we speak?and am considering the black lacquer for the inside of the bell. My question to Rath players (preferably w/ a color lacquer bell), how well does that finish hold up to scratches, etc?? The outside will be brushed nickel, but the inside will be gloss black.

I tend to be pretty careful w/ mutes, etc? but things can happen, and I want this horn to look great in 5yrs too?not just now.

You can email me directly w/ your experiences?

Thanks,

Gil

Howard if you're still out there, please drop me a line.  I have a non-trombone German musical question to ask.
