[Linda Landis]

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

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.
