This has been discussed on another forum, with no luck. Has anyone on the bboard tried this horn? People seem excited about them, given the company's reputation with their saxophones.

They look like the generic Chinese basses based largely on Yamaha's design, so I suspect they're nothing special and have bendy keywork.

If you're considering booking the Far East Passage, consider Yamaha or, yes, Jupiter. Unless you want a low C version, that is...

The reason people seem to be raving over this one is because their saxes are made in China (Not taiwan, except the higher end ones that most people don't buy) and they're a step above the other Chinese horns, some even use them as their main sax. Even their keywork is better. I'd try it out if they were sold in the North America, but they're only sold in Europe.
Kessler seems to be a different bass than the other Chinese basses. People have reported different keywork on it than the various other models, which appear to all have the same keywork. That's why I thought maybe this one did as well.
