I've got a budget of around 500. More if it's really awesome. I'd like to eventually by a Thein but until then something to start with. I'm looking at wessex, new horns are around 400. I just thought I'd just check here first. Anyone looking to unload?

I've got a Jupiter I would part with for $350 It looks like new.

Curious on how you feel about the sound/tuning of the jupiter. I've heard mixed reviews.

I'll send you an email... with all sopranos, it takes practice to play in tune without sliding into the notes - the slide positions are so much closer, off by a small amount on your position and you'll really hear it. It seems to be pretty good workmanship.

I've got a Mirafone for sale, quite a bit higher on the $$ scale, but also a higher quality horn...

I think the Kanstul soprano/slide cornet is very good. If I remember correctly the modelnr was 150. They also made a slide trumpet modelnr 140. From what I've read on one of the Moravian websites they recommended the Kanstul. I bought one of the first maybe some kind of experiment or prototype. I bought it from Thomann and the Kanstul company could not tell me when it was made later when I asked them to date my trombone. They said they had no record of such a soprano with such low serial number, and my trombone is in brass, the later ones is cupper. I think it is a great soprano, just need more practice. It is not for sale.

I think Jim Nova uses a Kanstul soprano, right? Or am I mixing that up with the contra?

Yeah the Konstul's look gorgeous. But i'd prefer a used over new.

Kanstul instruments are unlikely to be "new." The business closed in 2019. Any Kanstul you buy now is surely "used."

Miraphone soprano, I believe.
