Just saw this stumbling around online. Anyone here ever play one? Looks like I need to make a trip next month

It's the Kalison. Walter owned/owns? that company. If you've played a Kalison...this is the same horn with very negligible differences. Hope that helps.

The successors of Kalison are G & P Milano, they still build cimbassi as well, and are a bit less expensive! The old Kalison/Nirschl design is really slick though, with how it fits in that case!! G & P changed the compact design due to the peg being too wobbly...
