Hey there, i had a chance to play Josef Bazinka's Apollo and thought it's a great sounding instrument -- but so was Roger Bobo's little Yamaha F and so was Cherry Beauregard's old (OLD!) Mirafone F . I figured that those instruments are all fine,it's how you use it. Ok the low range , it was better than my old Cherry Beauregard Mirafone,
Apollo sounds big .. Bazinka told me Apollo was a very find instrument but high range tends to be flat, he has to use alternate fingerings in the high range (his high range,
about 2 octaves above high C,) ..obviously, try one or more and see how they work for ya, good luck
