That's the CX-12.  It looks a little reminiscent of Darth Vaders helmet,
if you have a vivid imagination and monsters live in your closet :-) Even
though it's "just another chromatic", it plays exceptionally well, has a
great tone, and surprising volume.  It's the best chro I've ever played -
but I've never tried the CBH's, which Rkt tells me are also exceptional
instruments.
