FS: Kanstul Model 200 "Custom Class" Marching Tuba in BBb
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 6:18 pm
Hello all, for sale here is a very nice Kanstul Model 200 "Custom Class" marching BBb tuba, in 5/4 size. An excellent, free-blowing horn and arguably one of the best marching horns around. Selling only due to change in employment---I would love to keep this horn around, as it is lovely to play.
This horn was made in around 2004 and is in good condition. It shows marks of use and has cosmetic flaws typical of an instrument of its age and "occupation" as a field instrument. The finish shows some scratches and dings, and there is a noteworthy dent (pictured) on the rear bow of the horn that will have no affect on playability.
Playing wise this horn is fantastic. Intonation is all around very good through the range and there is very little backpressure (as is typical for a Kanstul horn). Valves are in great shape and show very little to no finish loss. All tuning slides are freshly greased and move freely.
Horn comes with two coffin-style cases, one for the body and one for the detachable bell.
I'm located in Boonton, NJ and you are welcome to come by to take a look at the horn before purchasing. I can also arrange shipping if necessary!
$1950 or best cash offer takes her.
