DCIFanOfAllDivisions Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 on Beatrix website...it shows they are using Manchester horns. Anyone know anything about these??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horndoctor Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 As captionhead brass of Beatrix I should B) These horns are produced at Kanstull. It's not a B line or something, they are a brench of their own and getting pretty big in Europe. Not so much in the Drum Corps Scene, but for concertbands they are growing. Beatrix was the first drum & bugle corps in Europe to use these instruments, and therefore we "act" as ambassadors for Manchester Brass. In the US I know that the Bluecoats have had them, not sure if they still use them? They are good horns with a beautiful sound. Check their website voor more info (go to www.beatrix.org and follow the link) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIFanOfAllDivisions Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 thanks for the info... unfortunately the link goes to Adams website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horndoctor Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Hmm.... indeed. I just found out that there's only a page on the Adams website about MB, and that one's in Dutch. Maybe there's someone from the Bluecoats how could get some more info about MB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIFanOfAllDivisions Posted July 25, 2004 Author Share Posted July 25, 2004 are these horns cheaper in costs compared to Kanstul and other brands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horndoctor Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Not sure. We made a good deal with Adams for these horns, but our board of directors made the deal and therefore I have no clue on how expensive (or cheap) they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIFanOfAllDivisions Posted August 2, 2004 Author Share Posted August 2, 2004 you mean Adams also sells the Manchester horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jubalbari Posted August 3, 2004 Share Posted August 3, 2004 Adams in the Netherlands is not only a manufacturer of concert percussion instruments but also a dealer and manufacturer of brass instruments. Manchester Brass is as far as I know manufactured by Kanstul, shipped to Europe and signed (sp?) with the Manchester Brass logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horndoctor Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 If you'd like some more info about MB, send an email to rob.lam@beatrix.org He's on our board of directors and has got the contacts with Adams. Maybe he can help you reach the correct person. Tell him I send you if you want, might help a little :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
