Pre-Owned Burbank (Kanstul) 4-Valve Piccolo Trumpet - Silver Plated
We have a fascinating horn in the shop! This Burbank piccolo trumpet is a true find for any classical player, brass specialist, or orchestral doubler. Crafted in Southern California by legendary manufacturer Ziggy Kanstul under the Burbank label, these instruments carry a direct lineage to the finest custom brass building traditions of the American West Coast.

The Burbank & Kanstul Pedigree To understand the significance of this horn, it helps to look at the history. When the legendary Elden Benge operations moved and shifted eras, master craftsman and manufacturing titan Zigmant "Zig" Kanstul established his own custom shop in Southern California. Kanstul built instruments under the Burbank name to honor that historic California brass tradition, utilizing elite design standards, precision-honed valve blocks, and heavy silver plating. Instruments bearing the Burbank name are celebrated by professional players for their brilliant core projection, immaculate intonation slots, and bulletproof mechanical reliability.
