This Kanstul Marching Euphonium, Model 295S, is presented here as a historical archive listing for musicians, collectors, and educators researching American-made marching brass.
The instrument featured a .570-bore design with a 12-inch bell and a brass body finished in bright silver plate.
It arrived in excellent working order, showing only minimal wear, and was serviced with a full chemical bath and silver polish prior to sale.
It was offered complete with the original Kanstul wood-shell case and mouthpiece.
Although Kanstul Musical Instruments closed its doors around 2019, founder Zig Kanstul had spent decades designing and building high-quality brass in Anaheim, California.
Kanstul marching brass — including trumpets, mellophones, baritones, and euphoniums — earned a strong reputation for durability, excellent intonation, and a resonant American sound.
Today, most new marching brass is produced overseas, often at lower cost but with less robust build quality.
Well-maintained Kanstul instruments remain prized by players and ensembles who value their longevity and characteristic tone.
The Model 295S was one of Kanstul’s flagship marching euphoniums.
In the final published 2019 Kanstul catalog it listed at $4,325 USD, with a MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) of about $3,000, reflecting its professional-grade construction and finish.
This particular euphonium represented an excellent choice for any serious player wishing to own a personal marching horn of lasting quality.
Now sold, it remains in the archive as a reference for anyone interested in the legacy of American-made Kanstul marching brass.
