The Kanstul 18 is superior to the Bach 18 in these aspects: 1) consistency - 1.26 Rim I.D. Period. No variance in inside diameter, outside diameter, rim width and contour. 2) tighter throat - has the .328 throat instead of the larger .348 Bach throat - better breath control 3) slightly deeper - less graininess in the low register but no sacrifice to tone, range, response, projection, flexibility and control If Jim New had not made a custom version for me a few years ago with a 1.28 rim I.D., for the sousaphone I play on occasion, I'd be all over this one.
