Kanstul 90 CC Review w/ Sound Clips

[Toobist]

Hey Steve,

Don't go buying a Kanstul! You and I both already have the perfect horn!!!! (Steve's the only other player I've heard of who has the same model Nirschl as me.)

If you trade over to the Kanstul, you'll tempt me. I played one of these at last NAMM last year and I found all of those positive points above to be true.

I enjoyed the EEb as well. A super do-it-all horn.

Al,

Don't worry. I've learned my lesson. My Nirschl CC is staying. The gentleman with whom I've studied tuba roundly and correctly chided me when I was entertaining the notion of trading my 4/4 Nirschl for a rebuilt 6/4 York CC and later for a 5/4 Rudolf Meinl CC. While a 6/4 Nirschl would be nice, the 4/4 held its own pretty darn well this past weekend in Prokofieff Romeo & Juliet.

Now, if Kanstul one-ups its 5/4 Grand CC/BBb and comes out with its own true 6/4 tuba...

FWIW, Al, my Eb is a 983.
