Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I play with the Pacific Brass Brand located in Salinas, Ca, and the director, Howard Miyata, lent me his tenor trombone. Now Howard is not just the director of the band, he tests out tubas for Kanstul, so one day when he asked me if I wanted to use one of his trombones I said "Sure!". The first trombone he lent me (which I still have with me) is a Bb Bass Trombone with just an f attachment, it is a very old Conn Artist trombone, only 200 made I think. The second trombone he lent me was an all copper brass tenor trombone made by Kanstul. Now this trombone is a beauty! I cannot generate a "bright sound" from it, it produces a nice beautiful dark tone. He told me the trombone was the first ever trombone from Kanstul and it was made by the owner of Kanstul and customized for Howard himself! It is so beautiful and I want it xD Unfortunately that won't happen since it's a collector's. Just wanted to share this because from one low brass player to another, we like sharing our equipment smile . So If I were to own a trombone.... It would be a Kanstul tenor, they are made mostly for jazz and look spiffy and unique!
