FS/FT: Kanstul 80 F Tuba (Silver) - $7000

[emkelsick]

Selling my Kanstul 80 Silver F Tuba. A really great horn... Sad to see it go. But my needs have changed and looking for a different horn. Asking for $7000 or a trade for a Willson 3200 XS F Tuba or a Yamaha YFB-621.

This a smaller f (3/4) which is great for technical, solo, and small ensemble playing, but it has a rather large bell and open feel that allows you to pump out some volume when necessary. The low C comes out very easily on this horn!

The first valve has been vented. Willing to chem clean before a sale.

Willing to ship at buyers expense, but I'd prefer a local sale. Horn is in the Champaign, IL area, and it comes with an MTS hard case shown in the pictures.

From Kanstul:

The renown design and expert workmanship from Zigmant Kanstul is heralded in this new F tuba – the first production F tuba made in the United States.

Inspired by the classic J.W. York instruments of the early 20th century, this innovative design addresses all the needs from F tuba players looking for an improved instrument: outstanding intonation, even response throughout the entire range of the instrument, and a dependable low C with a natural full resonance not found on other F tubas. LA studio player John Van Houten records extensively with one, as does renowned player and educator Beth Mitchell.

This is a little strange, but I recently got a PM from someone about this. I tried to reply, but I'm not sure if it went through. Now I can no longer see the PM, so whoever you are, can you send me an email at evan (at) evankelsick (dot) com?

I know Tubenet was down for a brief period there, so it may have something to do with that...

Thanks!
