I recently sold a Kanstul 1070 to a fine young student of mine is Brisbane Australia, and he has been emailing me with glowing reports regarding his new horn. Here is one: “Bruce, I really can’t tell you how much I love this trumpet!!! With the CG Personal in it, it’s incredible. It’s like the two were made for each other, the two designs perfectly compliment each other. It’s like the other trumpets I’ve played were just toys! I was worried about it being too bright but with the CG P it really is so versatile and just amazingly easy to play!”
Several of my students have bought this model in the past year and they are all thrilled with how it plays and sounds. Their comments are typically about how little effort it takes to play and how big and rich the sound is. They can’t wait to get to their practicing each day! A trumpet that makes you want to practice? Now that’s a great investment!

Just got the Kanstul 1070 (silver plated) recently and can confidently say it is the greatest most versatile trumpet I have ever played during more than 60 years. For perspective, know that I have a handmade custom 1961 Benge which has until now been my preferred main horn for gigs and recording. I also have a Bach Strad 43 which plays great but it is a Bach and requires lots of effort as we all know. My Yamaha LA Bergeron trumpet is a fantastic horn but has the Yamaha sound with limited ability for nuances. My Kanstul 1603+ (Wallace Roney Martin Committee model) is easily the best horn ever made for jazz but does not have the versatility of the 1070. In short, for an all around trumpet, nothing is close to Kanstul’s 1070: amazingly responsive, great slotting, tremendous flexibility for volume changes, full sound in all registers, and you never get tired. A great clone of the Chicago Benge but perfected with a bigger, lighter Bell, lightening fast valves, a large bore that does not wear you out and a gorgeous sound. Where can you find that? No where but Kanstul! These guys are geniuses.

I agree 100%. It is truly a great all-around horn. It will jump when you want it to or you can play soft and pretty. Thanks for the feedback!

Bruce,
Your affirmation is very comforting. I play well but not in your league. It is great to know someone of your accomplishment agrees.
