Spawn,
I don't know if you noticed, but I have a thread on "Auditioning New Horns" in the Horns forum.
http://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?topic=15225&forum=7&9
I tried both the Chicago MLP and the WB at PiCK and ended up with the Chicago ... both were fine horns, but I like the way I sounded on the Chicago -- it will be a great complement to my Bach. I also tried a horn with a .470 bore (not a Chicago), it was waaay to big for me. I could get lots of sound, but I'd be dying by the end of the first set if I tried to use it at a gig! Both the horns you are trying out are excellent and I really enjoyed working with PC.
Let us know what you choose!
Steve

| I've been preaching Kanstul horns for several years and it appears they are getting more and more recognition all the time. I own 4 Callets (2/Bb, 1/C, and 1 Flug) that Kanstul did much of work on plus a Besson and a Kanstul picc that Zig did all the work on. And, I've owned or tried a whole bunch more. The work is always very, very consistent. The Chicago is a great, truly tested design, hard to beat. And, Priscilla will take care of you nicely. Best regards, Kyle |

Spawn, nice site. How 'bout some pictures of your actual horn? (I think that Kanstul could use an upgrade of their pics).

Unfortunately it has not been completed yet. I have a digital camera, and plan to take "Zeus type" pictures when I get both horns to try out. (Chicago 1001 & WB ZKT 1600)
I'll take the photo's outside, place the horns carfully on some padded blue velvet, and take good, clear close-ups and crop appropriately. Valves, slides, water key, you name it. I'll create a webpage on my site for the pictures. I'll have thumbnails you can click on for larger views.
I plan to e-mail the webpage link to Priscilla as well as Jack Kanstul, so if they like them, they are free to use them. Of course anyone can right click/save as.
I may even try to make 2 wallpapers and possibly get a friend to make an animated GIF. |

Good ideas. Thanks for your sharing. Looking forward to the photos.
Taking the pictures is REALLY hard to get right without studio equipment. I agree that a good back-drape is a key when you don't have studio lighting available.
