Just a note about live miking. If you're someone who travels and gigs a lot, it may be worth your while to check out some microphones and pick one that sounds...
The last post was interesting....I would like the members to add what they feel is a good mic for home recording purposes without spending $500. And also, if...
I go to the NAMM show every January in Anaheim, where you're able to try virtually any brand of musical instrument. Many of the Cannonballs that I've tried ...
Iv'e been playing and recording for many years. I have found that what works best for me on my cannonBall and Selmer MK VI is a Senhouser Mic. They always pick...
You're right! I swallowed hard and bought a $700.00 AKG wireless because I like to move on stage, (while the other three horns are "tethered" to their mic...
Yeah, Senheiser 421 or 441's are great horn mics. Some gigs require (or sound better) with diaphram mics though instead of dynamics. (but those large diap...
For the best "all around" mic, look on ebay for a good used dynamic mic. A few good dynamics have detail that approach condensers without the nastiness in the...
Thanks, I've tried the Yamaha Custom and it doesn't do much for me. I'm going to try a Cannonball (Stone Series) for the first time this weekend. The shop...
I was a backline tech before I got a job at the music store where I am now. I was privileged to be on the crew for a David Sanborn show at the Palace Theater....
Be sure to let us know if any CBs (or that reduced-price Keilwerth) fit the bill for you. 8 CBs in one place. Wow. If none of them rock your world, I can ...
I will let you know how it feels. I will be taking my Selmer Jazz (metal) and my Meyer 9m with me. You know, I'm getting so old and out of shape, it's all I...
OK .. got the file, put it on my web site http://www.cwwilson.com/mp3files.html (if you like a page link) or http://www.cwwilson.com/why_no_trumpet_xmas.mp3...
Now THAT was one of THE most hilarious things I've ever heard. I laughed so hard my stomach muscles tightened-up. Thank you for that. Murphy ... of a file ...
I am considering buying a 1998 Cannonball tenor that I cant test play as owner is at a distance. Everyone raves about these horns and this company, and I...
Dear Jazzoholic, I don't know if you have been reading the posts, but I am the pro player who just recently sold my King Super-20 Silver-sonic on ebay and have...
I have small hands, even for a woman, and I can tell you that my BBGS tenor fits beautifully. The action is great and everything falls where it needs to be,...
Congratulations Brad! You certainly gave it a solid audition. Your comprehensive account reflects my experience-- only my dealer only had four CB tenors at...
Brad's account also tells us that at least Sam Ash is selling these horns in the price range of Yamahas and almost the Selmers. I got my GS black/gold a year...
Ditto on the price issue............but I think there is beginning to be a "reputation level" established. The only good news about he price creep is that...
Dear Jazzoholic, I too would recommend you pass on the 98 tenor and go with a later version of the CB. The 98 altos are worth your time , but I found the...
Well, a thank you to the group. I asked for your honest advise and several responded. The overall consensus was to wait and go for a more recent horn, perhaps...
The Rode mics are a great value, and better made than most mics with Chinese capsules. The NT1 is still available for $199 and does a wonderful job. It is...
Glad we could help. If anything, you know that you will get straight talk in here, and that we're not blindly supporting this particular brand. You can often...
In response to the "cheap" in-ear monitors..... I couldn't agree more. You wouldn't want to put some cheaply made component into your sensitive ear canal now...
Hi, my name is Kyle Stolz of Redding California! I have played sax for six years (bari for four) and am a junior in high school. I play on a Buescher...
