Cannonball horns look, feel and sound beautiful to me. I've had one now for almost 10 years and still marvel at it every time I practice. Great craftsmanship
I've found people seem to either love or hate cannonball horns there doesn't seem to be much middle ground. As for me I love my big bell stone series tenor
Hate is strong, but I don't like their sound. To me, they have near 0 resonance. Beyond dark... almost deadened. Sticking with my Yamaha 62ii... she rings in my hands
My tenor is a Cannonball big bell with a hotspur finish and I absolutely love it.
I definitely heard a fatter sound with the Fat Neck, I loved it!
I love Cannonball Sax!!! 😍👌
The titanium neck screw used on this Cannonball is at the opposite end of the weight scale when compared to a heavy weighted screw. I didn't notice much difference between the Fat and Standard neck. A very good sounding alto for sure.
I’ve had my Bell Bell Global Series for almost 20 years. I haven’t played it much recently. But it look, feels, and sounds great! The construction/craftsmanship is 💯
My tenor is a Cannonball big bell black nickel! I love it!
I Just Got One Of These Today.
I remember being in high school(I suppose about 20-23 years ago) and my friend got a canonball tenor, I remember the fingering being dramatically different than yamaha or selmer.
I've been playing on my cannonball alto for about 4 years. I absolutely prefer the sound i get out of it over my Yamaha
is it because of the stones?
@@coin777 same reason why some people prefer the sound of keilwerths over selmers or other brand. All brands have their own core sound for various reasons.
@@myamaha62 Keilwerth players unite! There are dozens of us!
What a beautiful instrument one day I’ll get one I have a cannonball alcazar right now
I used to have their student sax and really enjoyed it. If I ever want anything other than my Jupiter, I want this but in tenor. Thing looks hella sick.
Titanium heavy mass screws? I think you’ll find brass is heavier..
They may be less likely to snap but that’s all.
Was curious about this - I thought Titanium was desirable for it's strength AND lightness?
I love my vintage reborn brute tenor. I love the picture jasper keys.
Does it affect the sound? No.
Does it look great? Yes.
Do I wish they were Tigers eye instead? Yes.
Is it because it would sound better? No. I just think tigers eye is gorgeous
And I want a gorgeous horn that sounds great. So I bought a Cannonball. I am happy.
Nuff said.
looks cool!
Nice sax! Awesome playing man.
I love Cannonball, I have The Alto Gerald Albright. I thinking of Getting A Tenor now.
Wow... would love to get my hands on it. Maybe someday I'll be good enough to deserve such a piece. 🎷😍
I bought mine Cannonball alto Big Bell Stones series Black Nickel in 2008. A fantastic horn - playing a selmer, yamaha etc after some time on a CB feels like playing a toy saxophone.
That's a bold statement!
@@AlexSosaBolivia A very bold statement indeed.
Bold. And completely subjective. Any Selmer or Yamaha professional horn fairs better in all areas. Arguably [besides looks]. I personally still prefer gold, cognac, or yellow gold brass lacquer. They seem to age/sound the best over 20-40years. Cannonball is only a 25year old company.
@@SAXMINISTRY yes; complete subject. The same is your comment about selmer and yamaha fairs better ....
@@EgilFurreHi Egil, yes we were speaking from the posture of subjectivity. Nevertheless, I stated “personally” when expressing my personal opinion publicly. Good day Sir.
"It's not just a case of sticking a bunch of pretty stones on each instrument." Cue the blind test where you demonstrate the influence of the stones.
Bla bla bla never stops
talk a bit and play alot please
Weight and vibration is a thing.
@@myamaha62 A thing which a blind test can demonstrate. What did he call the pearls, "snake-pattern"? Snake-oil, more like.
@@PlayerClarinet I can give you 5 selmer Paris altos made on the same line, same batch, same technicians. 99.99999% identical and none with play exactly like each other. They will have noticeable differences. Is that snake oil?
The entire line of questioning is without merit.
@@myamaha62 I completely agree with you about the individuality of each nominally identical instrument, but that in no way rules out the value of a blind test. The contention here is that exotic key pearls have an influence on the performance of the instrument, and my position is that such claims should be treated very sceptically.
Beautiful
MUY BUENO 😃😃😃...
So cool, amazing
I want one
Being from Salt Lake City was one of my deciding factors when purchasing this sax😂
Great review
That Cannonball neck you first had really inhibited the focus of the tonality that was coming from the horn, the horn sounded really good but it lacked this laser like focus that I wanted to hear. Now, the original neck produced the exact focus the horn needs, since it is a alto that wants to be pushed in sound it also wants to be projected just as much. It kinda reminds of a like a shy Julius Keilwerth with the heart of a Selmer.
Great video and wonderful horn and sound.. are this built in Taiwan?
If the stones could influence the sound, then what we wear during playing could influence the sound too - we are directly connected to the stones. Then for a brighter sound wear a yellow t-shirt, for a darker sound wear a black tuxedo?
Do you have anymore nonsense to speak?
Haven't tried this brand yet. Maybe I still prefer to have vintage horns🤣
I prefer the fat neck to the regular neck the sound is bigger I can hear it
Titanium is normally used to save weight not to add mass. That said I think I notice a slight difference between the two necks. Maybe I like the original better, but I think I should try in person to know for sure. Ps the story about the stones affecting the sound is a complete nonsense. No offence.
Should they say the titanium and the stones make their sax more appealing? No way. We sax players only care about the sound, not the look my friend. Anything new must contribute to the sound or the players won’t need it.
@@ngtamphuong Imagine a saxophone made in taiwan, that didn't say "salt lake city" on the bell, and which marketing stated "we offer keytouches in different materials so that players can individualize the look of their saxophone!"
How does this horn compare to the Keilworth Shadow series?
Love it! Very nice!
Me interesa ese saxo, pero aca en peru nl hay tiendas de cannonball
doesnt the humidity water in the neck drain on the octave pad because its situated down vs top of the neck
Really love my tenor hotspur. I think however the notion of resonance from the semiprecious stones is marketing rubbish. Really nice playing…thank you!
Que belleza
Lit 🔥
Price please
It look's awesome! What is the price of this model?
$5,350 out the door.
Sounds a bit stuffy. Although the original neck sounds brighter. Still stuffy IMO. Looks amazing though!
its not allways the sax thats trying to make you BETTER its the player master that can virtually play any sax and make it sound brilliant . soooo cut this nonces of MONEY. not ewveryone is a player . no so called sax is better than the player the sax is just an assistance to the player. marster what you can afford it will make you work harder .
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
All good, but what is the price of this instrument ?
The real question. Placing a bookmark here. Have a nice day
Usually a little less than a P.Mauriat.
I just bought one. Paid $3395
I have the Gerald Albright big bell alto with moss green stones. My daughter and granddaughter have the same horns, one with blue stones, and one with brownish tan. Before owning my Cannonball I played on a Bundy, Selmer, and Yamaha…Love my Cannonball…they were all in the $2500 range.
Why do they use so much nickel in their saxophones ? A lott of peoble have a nickelalergie Unfortunately I am one of them who is alerdic to nickel. If I was'nt I schould very much like to have tried it. But I can't wait to try a King Super 20, wich I hope has no nickel in it. 😢
Titanium for mass???? 🤣🤣🤣 are you kidding me, the Titanium is one of the lighter metals on earth, some times i think that sellers just want to sell and nothing more, the real value on an instrument is only known by a professional player, but it is something to take in consideration, at least this sax is great 😁👌
Price
Looks cool but not really a fan of the sound compared to other brands
Same. They sound dear to me. I'm always surprised in these play tests that they don't do harmonic overtones, that's where you can really tell what kind of resonance a horn has. My nickel silver tenor Yamaha RINGS in your hands, where the cannonball I played felt as lifeless as the gimmicky (yet beautiful) stones :) just my opinion of course. Im willing to give them another try
@@madigan_sax I have found the mouthpiece you use makes a huge difference on these. I have the same sax and use a Claude Lakey and sounds 10x better than this with more life and brightness. He might be using the stock mouthpiece.
Please sir
As much as I love the tone of Cannonballs, I don't enjoy their ergonomics. My hands never felt comfortable playing them.
I have a big bell alto and this is the only reason I want to move on from it. Especially low Bb is waaaay to far away and requires a whole hand shift to press it. The tone and build quality is good enough for me.
Cannonball is not a company per se. They are a marketing entity.
Bla bla bla Never stops, talk a bit and play alot please
Rather edgey with whiney tonal aberrations and no
beauty of emotional playing i can enjoy . Sorry !
They should make a skinny neck for all the people on a diet
