Ft. Worth, Texas. August 21 2003 The system does work! Kanstul Musical Instruments would like to thank Mark and Michael Wolfram of Buffalo NY, and Sgt. Owens and Detective Moore from the Little Rock Police Dept. for helping us recover a stolen instrument. Long story short, Mark and Micheal provided clues and Sgt. Owens and Det. Moore acted quickly to retrieve a ZKT 1600 "WB" that was stolen from our booth at NABBA back in April of this year. Thanks also to Dave Rosen of Rosen Music who provided support as well. Great job guys! By the way, now that this horn has a "history" it's going to go fast... August 19 2003 Work has begun on yet more updates to the website, including the new Mouthpiece Comparator v2.0! It's slow going, but look for changes in the weeks and months ahead. We have added a link to our pricing, including our domestic pricelist (downloadable, in pdf format) and a FAQ page found here. August 16 2003 Weekends are good for getting things done here at the office, however we had a surprise guest on Saturday: Tim Morrison. Tim is a world-class soloist, recording artist, and master teacher, and his sound can be heard on many film soundtracks, including Saving Private Ryan. Spending the day with his son, they decided to stop by Kanstul and play trumpets for a while. It was our pleasure having Tim visit. August 4 2003 We've got Wayne! Well, we've got his CD in our showroom. For a limited time, we have autographed copies of Wayne Bergeron's solo CD entitled You Call This A Living? for only $15 dollars each. These are available in the showroom only, no phone or email orders please. To purchase online, please visit Wayne's website here. August 1 2003 After a hot but enjoyable visit to Texas, our sales team has returned from Texas and the showroom is well stocked once again. We have the entire Signature Series Trumpets, all four of our outstanding flugel horns, and our entire line of marching brass. Be sure to check the Contact page for showroom hours. July 24 2003 Kanstul will be exhibiting at the Texas Bandmasters Association conference in San Antonio, Texas. On the booth will be 60 horns, nearly our full line. We will be featuring everything from our ZKF 1525 Signature Flugel with the copper bell (arguably the best flugel horn in the world!) to the ZKT 1600 Wayne Bergeron Trumpet, to our legendary Marching Brass. The show runs Sunday July 27 through Tuesday July 29 at the Henry Gonzales Convention Center in Downtown San Antonio. Stop by the booth and meet Vice President of Sales & Marketing Ron Griggs, and Kanstul Clinician Tim Wendt. And don't forget to bring your mouthpiece so you can try these amazing instruments! July 21 2003 Netscape users may have noticed that the Mouthpiece Comparator feature of the Kanstul website does not work properly. The reason is because the Comparator was optimized for earlier versions of Netscape (ver 4.0 and earlier) It seems that later versions view layers differently, and therefore may not "read" the comparator. We apologize for this and are working on improvments. July 16 2003 Mouthpiece Comparator updated with 23 new mouthpieces from our library. These are the Kanstul M Series Mouthpieces, designed for greater stability, constant pitch center and secure "slotting". July 15 2003 The annual summer inventory and vacation break is over and the plant has resumed operation. Factory tours are available daily from 7:30am until 3:30pm Monday through Friday. Please call in advance to make an appointment. The showroom is open daily from 7:00am until 5:00pm Monday through Thursday, and until 3:30pm on Friday. We are open Saturday morning by appointment only, and closed Sunday. July 11 2003 Don't foget that Kanstul will have a booth at the Texas Bandmasters Association in San Antonio. The convention/clinic will run from Sunday, July 27 through Tuesday, July 29. Kanstul will have nearly our full line of brasswinds on the booth, and encourage you to come by and try them. July 2 2003 Improved navigation in Mouthpiece pages. Added keywords throughout site for better search results. June 27 2003 Added search and site map. June 26 2003 The plant will be closed for inventory and vacations starting Friday, June 27th. The plant will resume operations beginning Monday, July 14th.
