[LostCircuits]

Ok, we can do some marketing for them, I am sure they will read it.

ConnTamination
ConnSecration
ConnStellation, not to be confused with the Super Constellation
ConnFlagration
ConnBustion
ConnPromise (I think that's a good one)

I’m surprised that nobody has commented on what at first appears an odd model name. Apparently a pun on Confirmation. What is the point of that?

Yes, I’m aware there is a bebop tune as well as a Christian ceremony. Is that good marketing I wonder?

It's a dumb name but it's easy to see how it would appeal to marketers who would think it was hip and we, also hip, buyers would catch on to how sophisticated it was.

I was just thinking of any more of these puns and came up with one that made me laugh and there is no way I can type it here.

@Pete Thomas this Conntraption is a perfect example of how a maker could benefit from Café direct advertising.
The sales and marketing department could have answered all the questions directly.

I know what it is: ConnTraception student model. Includes free Chastity ligature.

What is a generative bell brace?

I have no clue. Had to “look up” and see.

“...This brace was engineered using generative design technology which allows them to digitally optimize the design...”

The answer is right there. It was designed by AI.

Another photo, even worse. Thankfully they didn't attempt a naked lady

They did they're best. It's a long lost art.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it.

Perhaps they may have gotten further by say, hiring a well skilled reknowned motorcycle pin-stripe and mural painting artist? Paint an effigy on the bell: a scene that may be typical on a motorcycle like an eagle, skeletal head, surfing or sports play, dice on a roll, unfurling flag, cobra snake, motorcycle, fancy car, etc.?

"CONNfirmation"​

(English word "confirmation" chosen by Conn) seems a bit ambiguious. One would think they may have opted for something like,

"CONNoisseur"​

Yandex A.I.:
A connoisseur is a person who has a great deal of knowledge about the fine arts, who is a keen appreciator of cuisines, fine wines, and other gourmet products, or who is an expert judge in matters of taste. 1 4
The word “connoisseur” has two meanings:

1. An expert in a particular subject, especially in art or wine.
2. A person who enjoys with discrimination and appreciation of subtleties.

1 2
Here are some examples of the word in context:

• “She is a connoisseur of African art.”
• “The mushrooms had the chewy, savory flavor preferred by connoisseurs.”
• “A circumstance that the public will perhaps learn with pleasure should render this music precious to true connoisseurs.”

I think it they wanted to make an impression, such would be a bit more expressive. Having this sax shows an appreciation for the fine art of music.

That video from Saxstable is probably the worst of its kind I've ever seen. What's that ooze that seems to be coming out of a lot of the joints?

Both units sold in two days. Loved the video from Hades and goo looked like wax that wasn’t detailed off.

Al Bundy ?? Great, now we have a shoe salesman designing sax parts.

Could be an improvement…

The minimalist wire keyguards look good, but can they guard the keys?

I think the guards are fine if you don't wear frilly clothes. I find the combination of rolled toneholes without rimmed pads a bit lacking. They also used a diiferent shape for the strap ring and forgot the iconic underslung crook. On top of this: off line tone holes. No, its not for me.

Only 38 left.

That sax looks shockingly awful. I cannot imagine why anyone would buy it at that price when, for well over $2,000 less, you could get a good sax from a top manufacturer.

Al Bundy ?

Return of a familiar line, the Bundy III? (I am being facetious.)

 

[Grumps]

Four pages on this... and it's an alto.
An alto...

Half a Chinese chicken's wishbone?

All they needed to do was to make the thing the SAME COLOR as the horn, for goodness sake 😳

Maybe it shows their real attitude to their customers:
Conndescending

 

[cappers]

I thought of Connartist but they beat me too it (10M 'Naked Lady').

If Conndescending reflects the maker's attitude, Conntemptible, Connceited or Connsumerist might reflects the buyers'.
