Ralph Franke

"I must admit that I was initially skeptical, but I had read so many favourable comments about the Cannonball horns that my curiousity got the better of me and I had to try them out. What a surprise, and a pleasent one at that. Everything I had heard was true. My Black Ice tenor has the focus of a Selmer, the fat bottom end of a vintage Conn, the warmth of a Super 20 and the huskiness of a Keilwerth. The intonation is flawless and the scale is even from top to bottom. It's the same with my Black Ice curved soprano - in tune and even. I haven't played a curved soprano that sounds as fat as the Cannonball. The altissimo register is easily accessable as well. Bravo Cannonball, the horns are excellent. " ~ Ralph Franke
