W O L F Rockin' Oldies Radio will be airing a portion of the Woodstock 69 concert as it happened. If you remember when this event took place then you know what...
Hello again!, I was not at Woodstock! It was a celebration of decadence, depravity, and ushered in the begining of the collapse of the USA! To real music, ...

Has anyone out there played the Royal Crowns? How do they compare to the other CB's, the Knights and the Big Bell? Are they a decent pro horn? Although I...
I was just about to plunk down cash on a new CB BigBell tenor but while play testing I noticed the necks stayed loose. (dark lac on horn. dark lac neck and...
The loose neck tenon is something that is usually caught when the folks at Cannonball go over the horns prior to shipment, but occasionally one does manage to...
I have 3 Cannonballs and don't have that problem on any of them. I would try out a different CB first. The dealer should have more or should be able to get...
Thanks for your guys replies. I'll be testing a couple more CB BB tenors. Apparently there was a short amount that left the factory with loose tenons...
Hello, everyone - It's nice to see so much excitement here - I have a request - I'm an old lady busybody whose wonderful granddaughter plays alto and tenor sax...
The neck problem was pretty common in a many of the CBs from about two years ago. I've heard that they have since fixed this. I would ask the dealer if he...
Has Anybody played the early Cannonball saxes? --the "Royol Crowns"? (first there was the "Royal Crowns" then the "Knight" series and now the "Big Bell" saxes)...
... playable bari for that amount is going to be very, very hard... Hi Mary, and welcome to the Cannonball group! If the young man wants to buy a bari for...
I tried out a Cannonball alto many years ago. I don't remember exactly when, but it had to be at least 7 years ago. So, I am assuming it was a Royal Crown....
Hi Mary, Not sure where this young man lives (do we assume Alaska?), but here in the Baltimore/DC area, I honestly do not think he'd find a pro-level low A...
Hi, Leslie - First off, thanks so much for your thoughts - any and all information is much appreciated. John lives, as I do, in Spokane, WA. We have, I think,...
Hi all, I have just recieved a black nickel with gold key alto. Love the sax, the sound projection is amazing. I have noticed though that over the past week...
I'm a new member of this egroup, just purchased a used black nickel Big Bell alto with the standard gold and nickel necks, and stock mouthpiece. I'm sure there...
Joe, Good question, and one that I am interested in seeing the groups feedback. I have a B-Ice tenor and will soon have a B-Ice alto. A Jody Jazz ESP 7*...
I was seeking a similar sound. ONe mouthpiece that Maceo uses is a Claude Lakey with about a 7* facing. I used to use that set up on my selmer with pleasing ...
One mouthpiece that works great on my big bell tenor is the Runyon Quantum. It has that classic rock n' roll sound. It's also a big sound and pretty...
Thanks, I had read Dumar's essay on his mouthpiece search, which is how I got started thinking of trying something else. Will look into the Jody Jazz. Joe...
Chris Thanks, not very encouraging but got to love your honesty! You probably have to have a head shaped exactly like Maceo's to get that sound, but I just...
i've played with maceo on occasion- he uses a stock (rubber) brilhart ebolin mouthpiece. pretty interesting, huh? you'd thing it'd be something better! heh....
... and/or visited the only real place that we know of in Spokane where sax work is done - a place called Dutch's - and they don't have any bari sax's and...
I highly recommend a Sugal "Kirk Whalum II" mouthpiece for tenor. I've been using one for about three months. It comes in one size (8*). So far, in my...
I checked out Jason's review of the Cannonball and was somewhat surprised that he is playing a new otto link on his Cannonball tenor. I know if you read...
Actually I believe it might be possible - IF you are: 1) double-jointed, and 2) play with your legs crossed so you could turn your left foot around backwards...
