Idd. Maar: iemand ervaring met de stemming van de Kanstul?
Okay,
Op TrumpetHerald zijn er zowel meest lovende ("veel beter dan het origineel") als ook enkele minder enthousiaste reacties te lezen ("staat niet eens in de schaduw van de èchte 38B").
Ik weet het niet, want ik heb de Kanstul nooit gespeeld, maar hier heb je 7 links naar TrumpetHerald met alle antwoorden op jouw vragen:

There's been a lot of discussion about the Kanstul MAR 991 "Premier" model Mariachi trumpet. It is indeed a copy of a 38B - in fact it's a copy of Snooky Young's own horn.
We developed it to target the Mariachi market, because we had noticed that lots of (local, anyway) players liked the small bore, large bell and distinctive sound. However, by calling it the "Mariachi", we've sort of missed the target. Most players who are attracted to this horn are, shall we say, older guys and comeback players.
There's nothing wrong with saying that they are attracted to this instrument for the sound and feel that they remember from the 50's and 60's. Truly, this is the best Constellation-style horn that can be found today.
The distinctive sound of this trumpet is still sought after in many big bands. Remember: back in the day, many of the top players played those classic Constellations. Some guys today who like the sound and feel of the Constellation include Steve Reid (ex-Maynard) and Mike Bogart (TOP). Though he plays a Calicchio these days, Steve toured with the Ellington band several years ago, on the Cat Anderson book. He played a stock Kanstul Mariachi for the gig. Mike Bogart still plays his vintage Constellation in Tower of Power. He has said that the Kanstul compares well to the Constellation, in fact he mentioned that it is slightly freer blowing.
In Germany, our horn was recently given the nickname "Kanstul-ation", and we accept the compliment!
If any one has played our horn and liked it, but didn't want to be seen with that silver and gold trumpet with the Mariachi logo engraved on the bell, don't worry. We will make it in straight silver plate or lacquer finish, and put the Kanstul logo on the bell. We've done this a lot, and we're happy to do it.
It's a great horn, and one worth looking at if you are an aficionado of the classic big band sound. As well, I've found that if you back off just a bit, you can get that classic breathy trumpet sound too. It's quite a versatile horn, and not simply limited to Mariachi!
