Kanstul 1606 with light weight nickel slide. Hasn't gotten much use lately. Was tuned up by the slide doctor before being shelved for a bit. Comes with three interchangeable leadpipes, a Herrick (Williams) 6, a Benge/Nova style "S", and a Jiggs Whigham JW pipe. Asking $1600

Been used for a dozen broadway shows from different eras and two salsa albums at this point. This is a great horn that deserves to be played. (I've been getting a lot more bass and large tenor work, I was unexpectedly gifted with a great vintage horn, and I need to pay for a wedding.)

Here's what HornGuys has to say:

The Kanstul model 1606 has that distinctive Williams sound and a few new twists. He's accurately reproduced the vintage bell shape and the look and sound of the classic horns. But the Kanstul horn is a bit lighter as well. Many Williams models tended to feel heavy, and some players had their bells buffed down a bit to increase the liveliness. In addition, the Kanstul bell is a one-piece design, a style that he feels is superior in resonance to the more common two-piece bells on horns like Williams, Conn and King, even though a one-piece bell is more difficult to make. The Kanstul includes three removable mouthpipes: One is a replica of the original Williams design (W6), another is a replica of a Burt Herrick model that was designed as an improved pipe (H6), and the third is Kanstul's standard design derived from his work with Donald Benge (S).

We're happy to report that numerous commercial players in Los Angeles and elsewhere have adopted this as their instrument of choice. Many are former Williams players who wanted something a bit livelier, or at least lighter.

We think this is Kanstul's most versatile premier trombone. Many players are drawn to its light weight, clear response at low volumes, and malleable tone. It's a piece of acoustic history redesigned for today's player, and it's still hand made the old way.

Here are some pics, including the stockings:

Addressing some questions sent in private. I'm willing to ship internationally as long as we can figure out the logistics/costs acceptably.
