As many of you know Doc worked with a German builder to have the
original Destino built. This was an amazing horn, and price to show
it. For reasons unbeknown to me, Doc decided to have the horn
manufacturered in the US. He worked with Besson and I believe Zig
Kanstul to build the Destino in the US. When I first heard about this
I just assumed that the horn would essentially be like many other
Kanstul trumpets (fine trumpets, but not worth $4,000). Boy was I
wrong. I finally decided to give one a shot a couple of months ago
and I must say this is the best trumpet I've played.

Here's the basic specs on the horn: .460" bore, 4 7/8" one piece bell
(available in a 3 or 5 taper), hand lapped Monel pistons, the mating
of a special designed bell and leadpipe, 1st and 3rd slide throws with
a stop screw, 1st slide weight harmonic stabilizers, two water keys,
and available in lacquer, silver or gold plated finish. Does not
include a case or mouthpiece.

I have one left, in gold plate, that I will sell for $2,400.  It's new with
warranty.  You might remember that I was selling several of these a few
months ago.  Well, this is the last one that I have available.  If you want
it, drop me a line.
