Agreed with some of the pitch issues. I have owned a Kalison DS since 1995, and do experience the same issues. However, before I owned the Kalison I played a Mirefone 186, and had the same problems; and on the Mirafone the D and Db in the staff were almost impossible to get in tune and to hit cleanly. I did need to experiment with several mouthpieces before I found one that was able to play in tune more consistantly; that process took about 4 years though. The hardest thing for me is to match to Eb's and Ab's consistantly with the BBb's in our band; as their horns (a Mirafone and a Yamaha 681) are a bit unstable on those pitches also.
