Oh, look. Someone dredged this thread up again. (Me! )

I don't have much of a stable compared to many of you. But such as it is...

That Kanstul marching alto is a rare bird. The only I can remember seeing was in Steve Ferguson's shop.

That Kanstul marching alto is a rare bird. The only I can remember seeing was in Steve Ferguson's shop.

Yeah, I've never seen another one. It just showed up on local Facebook Marketplace one day, listed as a mellophone.

Most of those Kanstul marching middle brass are very rare. The Bb marching horn (285) is by far the most common as it was bought by schools, and the late-pattern marching mellophone (280) shows up from time to time. All the others are ultra rare. I've only ever seen evidence of one early-pattern (looks like a King 1120) mellophone, and I'm still looking for evidence of an early-pattern F marching alto (275) or late-pattern G alto bugle (175).

I've somehow owned a lot of the others. The early-pattern G alto bugle (175) was the best of the ones I owned, just a fabulous instrument. But also useless, hence why I sold it. I shouldn't have though, that might be the only horn I've sold that I really wish I could have back. My marching alto is cool and very good, but it doesn't have the magic that 175 had. I've also owned one of the 14 G French horn bugles (185), one of the 6 G low alto bugles (no model number), and the only meehaphone in private hands. It helps to be interested in instruments nobody else is, so you can find them for next to nothing.

It also helps to have a recession-resistant job; I was in a position to buy when a lot of people weren't.

For my sins, I got a grant from Wikimedia NZ to photograph instruments that don't have good openly licensed (public domain or Creative Commons) photos that can be used in Wikipedia articles. Naturally, I started with trombones and trombone-adjacent, some mine and some from a few friends in the Wellington area. I'll post the results in a few days, but in the meantime I've been tracking the project here.
