Guardala Baritone Saxophone

I'm considering the purchase of Dave Guardala bari, but I cannot find a review of them.  Does anyone have any knowledge / opinion of these saxes.  Thank you.

    I have played one before, one of the neighboring high schools has one, they are not the best you'll find, but they are fairly solid, but id hold out because there are a lot more beautiful sounding horns on the market

      Appreciate the advice.  What should I look for with regard to sound, craftmanship, etc.?

    The Dave Guardala brand horns were produced by the now-defunct B&S company of Germany.  If you can find feedback on B&S baris it might clue you in.

      B&S is not defunct.....they merely got out of the saxophone business.....all of the Guardala horns were built on the B&S "Medussa" model tooling.....this tooling was later bought by the Powell company for their ill fated "Silver Eagle" project, and is now cuirrently for sale
