Most players tend to play on Schilke sops (with berillium bells), but it is
worth trying the new model Kanstul (supplied by Phil Parkers in London).  I
tried one recently and the only 2 differences I found were that it is
cheaper than a Schilke and is not as comfortable to hold as a Schilke.
Apart from that it is as good.  Be warned that if you buy a new Schilke or
the new Kanstul sop, you don't get a case (or mouthpiece).  Thet both fit
Besson cases though.
