jware Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 This Kanstul Kontra was purchased new in April 2007 :) and was used to perform with the Kingsmen Alumni Corps in Pasedena's Rose Bowl, DCI semi-finals. :) The horn is in perfect condition. :) I have 3 mouth pieces, 12, 18, 24. It comes with a case and custom made blanket to put it to bed. I also have a portable dolly to cart it around. I paid a little over $8000. :( Asking $6500. You pay for shipping or pick up from Lakewood, Ca. Ph. 562-413-6069. This post was buried around page 7...... Just sayin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugada Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I know of this horn and it is a beauty. Craig, you and your horn would be welcome in the Renegades. It got a small taste at Chinese New Year. Let it know what it's like to play with full anger and intent. We will be in Templeton this month. Can you feel the contra case starting to pull to the north.

BigDale Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 (edited) You could donate the horn to CorpsVets and take the full $8000 as a charitable donation write-off! Actually, the horn would need to be appraised by an "expert", many of which reside within the ranks of drum corps hornlines, especially all-age and alumni. Once that was done and a written, signed statement was received, the horn could be a tax donation to a 501c3. This would be a good way to help out another corps and to get the maximum value for your instrument. Edited April 3, 2008 by D.

Ph. 562-413-6069. $6500 does sound like a fair price for that horn used only one season.The problem I have found with trying to sell a contra is that contra players do not expect to pay anywhere close to what the value of the horn is worth.Believe me I have tried.Then there is always the matter of shipping.Even getting a deal on a horn,,the end user never wants to pay $200 bucks to have one shipped. Best of luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sopranoman Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 It is a good deal for a semi used Contra..... I wish I had the money, but I am looking for that "econo" price for a used Grande! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worth of an item for sale is what someone is willing to pay for it, not a depreciated percentage of the original purchase price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ContraAl3of10 Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 From a guy who stood next to this horn all season, let me just say that it was the "Most pampered horn on the planet". It has never actually touched concrete. It sat on a blanket, even on carpet. I thought my horn was awesome until I put it next to this one.

sonofjabba Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 It's worth what you get the day you sell it. Tough sell for Big Bugles. IMHO It would be a Snip at $4500 That is the current Fair Market Value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
