I posted a few back that I'm considering getting Cannonball Big Bell Pro Alto for my daughter. I'd like to get this group's feedback on the durability and...
While there are reports that the first few models of the cannonballs made in the 90s were not ready for prime time due to key brass that was too soft, the...
Hi Charlie, My daughter plays a Cannonball Bari. I can tell you they are great. We did take her sax to a repair person.highly thought of by pro musicians in...
Well I have ad my Cannonball Big Bell Pro Alto since November and have had the bis key (that the Bb key) plastic part (looks like mother of pearl) fall off,...
You got it right on, Jim. A Big Bell will probably last longer than artifacts buried with King Tut. I've used my Cannonball since my sophomore year of high...
I have a Big Bell curvy soprano, and it's been fine since I went through it and set it up properly (I'm a sax tech). Before that, corks were falling off, pads...
I agree with Jim that the newer CB's are very strong. I am a performing musician and have only owned my Stone Series Big Bell Tenor (Hot Spur finish) for 4...
haha speaking of bourbon, my band teacher told us a story how he was pretty wasted and fell over on his Mark VI baritone... back in his days but its still kind...
FWIW I work in a music retail store and we deal in CB saxes. I've only seen a CB come back to our repair shop ONCE. It had more to do with gravity than the...

You know......I just bought my Hot Spur, Stone Series Tenor in 06.........if I get rusty rods and springs, I'm not going to be happy. I hope all the talk...
Hi Jack My name is Jim Hayward and I was telling Mike Brignola about your CB Bari and he is very interested. Mike plays Bari with the Woody Herman band and is...
I appologize in advance if this question has already been posted, but I didn't come across an answer... Anyway, to the point. I play a Cannonball Big Bell Bari...
There's this company called pro-tech that makes sax cases. The one for bari is rather streamlined (much better than coffin type) made of cadura/gortex with...
I have a Protech case for my alto, and it is awesome! Light weight, strong, and good looking. Like Harry said, it might be a strectch (no pun intended) to fit...
I wish I could have the great experiences many of you are having with your Cannon- balls. Have a black-nickel gold lacquer key tenor. They do have a great...
... Kyle, I have a Pro Tec case for my S80 bari and it is very nice. It is fairly soft an very lightweight. Protects very well. I did a great deal of travel...
While I don't discount the possibility that you may have gotten a lemon, I think it's important to consider wear relative to other horns. After 16 months, the...

Wow.....this is the second "rust complaint" I've heard! How old is your CB? As far as hearing all "good/nice" stories.......I want to hear the TRUTH! Glad you...
I have the same problem, but I must say that I had the same problem with my old Buescher 400. (but NOT with my King Super-20?) I like to think of it as...
Am I missing something......or was that Vince, e-mailing Vince to tell him how great he sounds???? ... Wow Vince! You sound GREAT!!! altosaxplayer01...
For my money, you can't do any better than a Pro_Tec for a case. I've used them for years and love them because they're light and very sturdy. Pro-Tec's...
