The sound… is just like a 10M, I played this back to back with a 10M and a 30M and it had the same big sassy ‘my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard’ kind of sound that’s synonymous with vintage large bore saxophones.Ĭonsidering it’s age it’s not in a bad shape, there’s a few bumps in the bow, the crook has been patched up and the lacquer is about 50/50…but it blows a treat, and considering it was made around the time that Bird was still gigging - that’s not bad at all!

We want to thank all the players who have made music on our horns over the years, from the casual players, the band members, the drum corps sections-to the professionals in the pop, rock, jazz, symphonic, mariachi, and Hollywood soundtrack genres-and everyone in between. However, we came to a point where it was no longer viable for us to continue. 67 years ago, Zig Kanstul first began crafting brasswinds, and though the master himself passed in 2016, our family has carried on the tradition of building a broad line of brass instruments with an unrelenting focus on the sound.
