I ordered a Kanstul euphonium through Dillon's last year. It was shipped in the case. UPS dropped it on my front porch (I witnessed this) and left without asking for a signature or even ringing the doorbell. That jolt (or perhaps who knows how many others en route) caused it to shift within the badly designed case, resulting in a dent in the top bow which was immediately obvious upon taking the horn out of the case for the first time. Dillon's sent it back to Kanstul and ordered another, this time with instructions to ship horn and case separately. Again they were left on the front porch by UPS (while we were away for the weekend!) but this time the horn was intact. Sounds great too.
