I was recently a soloist with the Air Force “Band of the Golden West” on euph. I played the Figaro song from Barber of Seville, Amazing Grace and the piccolo part to Stars and Stripes — the Kanstul horn came through like a champ!
All the D.C. Marine Band euphonium alumni were interested in the Kanstul euphonium.
Thanks, Zig, for creating such a great horn!
