Don't know much about Cannonballs, but have heard good things about them. If you do decide to buy it, be sure to have a tech check it out. It is from my experience that when learning a new instrument, it is hard to determine whether it's the horn or if it's the person playing the horn.

I had learned and then troubleshooted an instrument TWICE and I can tell you it is not pleasant. It will be more difficult for you because I knew how to play sax, but was troubleshoot and learning Bb clarinet. Year later, was learning and then troubleshooting a Contra Alto Clarinet. Not pleasant, but I found the problem and made sure it got fixed. Just trying to imagine a beginner woodwind player playing a broken instrument.
