Kanstul 5/4 CC tuba

[Tubacube]

It would be a good guess that a prototype could be on display at the Tuba Euphonium Conference in Flagstaff AZ this May. I hope they also make a BBb version for the Brass Band market.

I have the working prototype at my office, but I think it needs some adjustment before showing it, so it won't likely go to SWRTEC. At this price, it has to be spectacular, so it's better to wait. I talked with Zig about pricing yesterday, and he thinks the street price will be $9000 introductory, $10000 after, plus case. It does fit (barely) in the SKB390W case. It's about the size of a PT6P.

Best,

Ferguson

Forgive me if this was answered, but what will the bore be on this tuba?

It will be an optional upgrade.

What does one mean by introductory?

The first few that sell will be at a lower price, then the rest will be the set price. Sounds like a great buy (i missed out on the intro Kanstul 90 )

I played this horn briefly yesterday and I liked a lot of things about it. The big problem I noticed was that open C in the staff was out of tune, I can't remember if it was sharp or flat. This is a big horn though, gigantic compared to the Kanstul 80 F.

Sorry to revive an old thread but, is there any new information out on this horn?
