Zig Kanstul developed the first truly playable, in-tune mellophones for the F.E. Olds & Son company back in the 1960’s. His radical bell design set the standard for the middle voice today in marching bands all over the world. Kanstul mid-voice mouthpieces for mellophone, tenor horn and French horn set the standard for quality and playability. Hornists such as the great Vince de Rosa, and others from all over the world, have stopped by the factory to have custom mouthpieces made for them. With our revolutionary Renishaw scanner, converting contours has never been more flexible and precise. Enhance your enjoyment by having your mouthpiece goldplated with our quality 24 karat gold-plate (call for pricing). Mouthpiece prices include shipping to anywhere in the world.
