Benge-Burbank-Kanstul Connection

This is not tuba-related.

Here's a link to some southern California brass history during the period 1950-1960.

I knew of the Benge/Burbank connection, but not of the Zig Kanstul involvement in Eldon Benge's business. In 1950 I toured the F.E. Olds factory in Los Angeles before any move to Fullerton or Anaheim. Zig Kanstul became an apprentice there, and also moonlighted at Benge's home factory in Burbank. He must have worked 12-14 hour days!
