Perhaps the blowhard behind it has some bearing on that?

I'm sure he (she/it) does, but I am trying to compare the three or four,
four valve horns on the market with each other....Pretty well the only ones
I have available to me are the Getzen, Blessing and now the Kanstul.....I've
pretty well eliminated the others because of price and/or availability, or
on the advice of others who know more about them than I do. I know very
little about the Kanstul....I wonder if it compares favorably with the
Getzen.....

Now what did Blessing do to earn your wrath? Yes, Mikey is a schmuck, but
not all conversations are about him.

One of my flugels is a Blessing, and it plays nicely (except for the craffy
valves).

Looking at that picture, is the finger ring not in the way of the fourth
valve?
On my four vallve instruments they put the finger hook forward of the fourth
valve so you can choose not to use it when you are playing with all four
fingers.

Perhaps it is...Some people play the forth valve with one of the fingers of
the left hand....I never did that, but then, I was not a super fast player,
either.....I only used the forth valve for the lower pedal tones, and I
never had to play those very fast.

Carl, this proves once again that I am not the troll, you all are, I am
not casting any stone, you cast one Carl, right at me.

Not cool.

I am not the one stirring heated discussions about me and casting rude
insults, this time the guilty Troll is you CARL DERSHEM

The first flugel I owned was a Blessing, and it was by far the
crappiest of the five I've owned.

I traded it straight up for a Treibert Moderne (made by Couesnon) and
never regretted it for an instant.
