Hi. I am very glad to have got the reply from the members! To kicbal: thank you for your warm message. My friend and the member of a bigband I join said "It`s...
Hello, I guess I join you guys too in being owners of cannonball instruments. I just made a down payment yesterday on a cannonball big bell tenor. As you can...
It shouldn't. Take it back to the dealer and get it adjusted to your satisfaction--hopefully, while you wait and can try it when it's finished. And welcome to...
since the g# key remains closed when the instrument isn't in use, the key sometimes gets sticky from spit, especially if you've been drinking soda or eating...
I bought my Cannonball tenor used and it had a sticky G# key also but I was able to fix it. First thing I noticed is that the spring had slipped off the peg...
i fold a dollar bill and keep it under the pad when i put the horn away. it absorbs moisture that causes sticking and i know i always have a dollar stashed...
A sticky G# is always a problem with saxes. The Keilwerth and maybe the Steve Goodson line of Unisons are the only ones that I know of making a G# that is not...
a small amount of cornstarch (probably an ingredient in gig dust) will do the trick also. put a little on a paper towel and close the key on the paper. a...
Yamaha makes (or used to make) powder paper. I bought a couple of packages of it on a clearance table at a music store and it quickly remedies the stuck G#....
I prefer to use a $5 or $10, because a single dollar don't buy jack these days. Plus in an emergency some one will be much more inclined to take a spit soaked...
Aircheck - n. A recording television or radio performance. When you get a chance, make sure to check out the "air-check" of Dizzy and the Bird. Apple, The...
The "something" about a dollar bill that works is the fact that it's made only partly of paper and mostly of cloth. This is the same reason that you can find...
Hello again!, Being a Lazy Cat, I used to put a business card under the low C# pad when I put the horm away. It opens the G# key and it will "air out". To the...
Hello, Lesile, I got the T SAX with the entire horn in black nickel finish. To my dollar bill folks! Do I need to soak the dollar or just insert the dollar...
I have been disappointed in the past with a 1998 CB tenor that I bought for my son and my daughter's 'ice' alto. They both refused to play my tweaked out...
I use little pieces of an old linen sheet for sticky keys on all my horns...it's stiff enough to just slide in and does a killer job of stopping keys from...
You absolutely DON'T want to use baby powder or anything that contains talc around your saxophone...this is a very hard grit and gets in mechanisms and causes...
I just bought a 'previously owned' CB Big Bell curved soprano. The case only has only two latches and these are opened with the slightest pull on them; I am...
I bought a new curved soprano last year so my latches are still stiff enough to stay shut. You might try (careful) bending part of the latch mechanism so it's...
I have the opposite problem with my BB curved sop. The case latches are so stiff I can hardly open it. As for after market cases, my sax teacher played an old ...
hey guys, i just got my new raven alto like 3 weeks ago and its awesome. the sax is great, but im trying to find a good case that is a little easier to carry...
Hi: I considering picking up a Cannonball Alto to double on but wanted to know if anyone had an opinion within the Meyer MP's which chamber works best with the...
I'm the dad of a talented kid who enjoys his Big Bell tenor very much. We bought it after trying many different brands and models. It just blew away the...
I had a very beat up case for my bari. I looked at all the case available out there. After a lot of shopping, I decided to try a Protec. I had been VERY...
...except for the horns that I sell (LOL...there are other reputable techs who sell horns), it is hard to expect to get a horn off eBay that doesn't need some...
So sorry to hear of your horror story. It's inexcusable, IMHO, for anybody to ship a horn that's not in a well-fitting case, then properly boxed. If your tech...
Thanks for your input so far. I just hope my naive and stupid purchase prevents someone else from going through a similar situation. On the other hand, I think...
If you have not already, make sure you contact ebay on this. I've heard, since their business depends on it, that they take this kind of action seriously. ......
... these days. Plus in ... soaked $10 from ... sax. That did the ... <shanniecej@y...> ... cannonball ... it! ... S1-BL Black Nickel Soprano in two weeks, and...
