Testimonials
"Dear Jack and Robin,
Jack, I want to thank you for your great follow-up to my initial inquiry
into your rent-to-own a Kanstul 610 trumpet program. Providing me with it's specs, playing qualities, and
demonstrating Kanstul's well known reputation for outstanding customer service and
care convinced me that this was and remains a great deal. Actually, buying any Kanstul
horn is a great deal because you buy with confidence that you're getting one of the
best products available that will last for many good years of use.
However, I think that you and your family have not been completely honest with the horn
buying public. This trumpet is not an "entry level" or "student" horn, and I don't believe
that Zigmant Kanstul has ever built such a horn in his life. This is an outstanding little
horn that plays beautifully, has a rich, warm sound, and was built by a great horn builder
only as he knows how, and that is with the utmost skill, care, precision, and unparalelled quality.
And, Robin, it was an absolute pleasure working with you to pay off my horn only after
four months of ownership. I didn't need 20 months to decide that I wanted to own this or
another Kanstul horn. I cannot even fathom how beautifully a Kanstul Signature horn
plays, but at som point in time, I will. I will never trade in my 610, but look forward to
one day purchasing a 1537, 1000 and/or a 1525 flugelhorn.
Again, thank you both for your outstanding customer service and care, for a great
program that helps folks acquire an outstanding horn from an outstanding company, and
for providing musicians with the very finest instruments available."

"Jack, I am very pleased with the purchase of the
WB horn! It is fantastic! Great sound, plays very well in the
upper register and is just amazing! I had played many other horns
over the past several weeks but nothing compared to the sound
of your horn! I also appreciated the time you spent on the phone
with me discussing my needs. Today's company's are more concerned
about profit then they are customer service. The horn was an easy
sale, your excellent customer service closed the deal! I will
be replacing my Yamaha flugelhorn with a Kanstul as soon as possible!
May it rest in peace!"
"I treasure the business and quality behind you and your
products, and know this isn't the last time we'll deal, and as
promised I'll refer folks to you as I have a healthy student base
as well... "
"Just wanted to say thanx--you're a class guy to do business
with..."
"I know I had some special request's on my dream horn &
you went that extra mile to insure they were carried out...."
"In closing thanks again for everything, you and your company
are truly a class act in my book. I will be looking for a Fluegel
horn and possibly a Power Bore Soprano for this Senior Corps I
am with, and will be in touch when ready. Once you have played
a Kanstul you cant play anything else..."
"RE: ZKT 1500: Simply put, you are NOT getting this horn
back! I was amazed...truly...at the quality of the sound I was
able to produce tonight with that gorgeous instrument. And with
relative ease. A piece of real pro equipment for sure. Can't thank
you enough..."
"The 1531 has acquitted itself with distinction, thus far.
I have noted that it seems to have a bit more "steam"
than the Smith-Watkins and English Bessons with which it generally
"competes". Pass the word along to your Dad...........WELL
DONE!!!! Now, the 1531 and I are off to join forces with the Las
Vegas Brass Band..."
"I like my Chicago more every day! Its darkened up my middle
register-and fattened up my Arturo register!I nailed a double
E this weekend that turned the reeds around!..."
"I received the cornet on Friday, and have finished the
3 day trial. I will be keeping the horn. I am also glad I got
the silver plate. I would not call this horn a student model.
It plays to well in tune, and the feel of the horn, the valve
action, and the slide tolerances are like a Pro-Line model...."
"Love that ZKF 1525! What a masterpiece! Thanks again for
manufacturing a gem...."
"The flugel and the mouthpiece arrived in good condition
yesterday. I played it for about an hour and a half last night.
The valve action is like butter, smooth, fast. The tone is beautiful..."
