|
|
Since Kanstul went out of business I have been working very hard to get in a position that I could continue to make my 1S style trumpets. I now have most of the pieces of the puzzle in place. Within the next 2-3 weeks I should have around 30 horns completed and plated with Reeves valve alignments on each. I currently have just the 1S bell with the 2, 3, 7 and 9 lead pipes. they are available through Bob Reeves Mouthpieces. Ask for John.
Thanks,
Charley Davis |

This is great news. Hope to try one of your horns one of these days. |

Hi Mr. Davis,
What valve blocks are you using on your current horns? Are they a 1-piece casing like Kanstul or a 2-piece casing like Calicchio? |

This is absolutely wonderful news. I'm the happy owner of one of your early horns (1s-7; serial number below 20), and it is truly a killer horn. Best horn I've ever played with a good margin! Kudos to you and your friend Tony Scodwell!
Good luck with your new supplier - I hope you can continue making these trumpets for years to come.
Kind regards,
