Cainan Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 From a Santa Clara Vanguard press release: The Santa Clara Vanguard is pleased to announce its purchase of 64 new brass instruments from the Yamaha Corporation of America. Negotiations have been ongoing for the past several months culminating in an agreement in early March. The decision for SCV to transition to Yamaha horns was based primarily on Key Poulan’s (program coordinator and brass arranger), recommendation. “I’ve been playing on Yamaha brass since 1984 and I’m convinced that the consistency of pitch, evenness of tone quality in all registers and it’s overall reliability should have a very positive effect on the performance quality of the Vanguard horn line.” Read the rest of the story here.

Dave Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm surprised they're switching to Yamaha; I'd heard they were going to return to Kanstul. I'd take just about anything over Yamaha marching brass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shintao Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 They play everything Dynasty, except for 22 COL103 Kanstul Trumpets. I think that Kanstul is the obvious better of the three but I am not going to second guess Key. I would trust his judgement. Or maybe yamaha gave them a better deal. Hopefully the don't switch to Yamaha percusiion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
