He will be missed. Steve Dillon posted about this on his Facebook page. I own two Kanstul trombones, and they are quite nice. I don't know as much about their tubas, but I would assume they are also nice.

He had worked for Olds, King, and Conn before starting up his own company. I hope that they continue to make great horns.
