There are a few things I'd like to hear a bit more about from you please, if you don't mind: It gives you the impression they're trying to distract your attention from things they want to hide about their saxes.

I have to admit that I was also instantly suspicious of the Cannonballs when I first saw them, since they always look TOO GOOD, TOO FANCY. How can you trust a company that doesn't care about small, incidental stuff like that to care about the big picture of instrument quality, either? I really began to be suspicious of them when I read a review that was so badly written, it was chock-full of grammar and spelling errors. What a shame the Chateaus LOOK so friggin' pretty at that - but you don't buy a horn on the basis of looks alone if you know your stuff.

Once you get used to playing them, they are great. If you've never player one before, generally their horns are built heavier and although the intonation is usually pretty good, there are some 'quirks' that are unique to them. Keilwerth is a solid brand now owned by Buffet. Hard Pass ('Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheerРІР‚Сњ - all you Cannonball fans.) People call them 'jazz horns' because they can't play them in tune. Cannonballs are more concerned with what they look like (rare gemstones(WTF? and engravings) vs what they sound like (huge intonation issues).
