There are a number of good horns out there, but the Stone Series is really something special. I've never played a horn that was so resonant. It has a robust, rich sound that vibrates like crazy. The response is good from bottom to top, but the altissimo is especially impressive. As one who finds himself in the recording environment frequently, I particularly appreciate the excellent intonation of this instrument. Less important to me, but cool: the instruments are
really attractive and come in a variety of finishes. Every horn comes with two necks. Try different finishes and different necks. The versatility of the horns is valuable to me as someone who needs a horn that does jazz and classical equally well.
I have been impressed with the innovative developments at Cannonball as I have watched them hone the instruments over a number of years, and their tireless efforts to make the best saxophone ever made are yielding amazing results. Bravo, Cannonball!!
