I tried out about 12 different horns around the $900-$1800 range (Conn Vintage 1, Getzen 700, Yamaha Custom, Cannonball (brass finish) were among the horns). I definitely have a preference for a darker sounding horn and I am a pretty new player, so I did not test anything above the staff. I selected the Cannonball (silver finish) because of its beautiful tone and ease of playing. I am very happy with it, and I paid $1200.

I don't like gimmicks, so I bought the horn in spite of the stone.
