Product Description
Kanstul 1500A Bb Trumpet
Here we have a Kanstul 1500A Trumpet. The 1500A features a hand hammered 1 piece bronze bell that gives it nice warmth and projection. The hand lapped pistons and top sprung valves have a great action and metal valve guides contribute to the resonance of this horn.
This one is in good shape although presents some scratching in the plate and one very small ping at the edge of the bell flare. The valves do click a bit due to the metal guides however they feel smooth and the slides all move freely as well. This would be an excellent option for professionals and serious students alike!
From Kanstul:
"The Model 1500-A features a one piece hand hammered bronze bell from Kanstul’s no. 7 mandrel, and is carefully balanced with a no. 25 mouthpipe and medium large bore.
The heavy mouthpiece receiver, weighted bell bow and weighted bottom caps offer increased projection and stability. This model includes two tuning slides: the weighted slide helps give the player more secure slotting, while the dual bore un-weighted slide helps the horn really sing in the upper register. A Zig Kanstul Signature Model."
