Hey Guys, Vince here. Has anyone played on a P. Mauriat saxophone. They look pretty cool, and I cant seem to get my hands on the new CBall Alto I want. Check...
Hi- I've played on a P. Mauriat bari, both a silver-plated as well as a copper-plated one. It played nicely (how vague), even tone throughout the range. The...
I don't know where you live, or which CB you are looking for, but it would be worth a phone call to the Sam Ash store in Columbus, Ohio (Morse Road). (find...
Hey, Wanted to help a fellow out. I just called Columbus, Sam Ash store and he has at least 5 Cannonball Altos in stock. (they are definitely C.B. "friendly"...

i'm thinking about getting one, either that or a jody jazz classic 6 myself... i'm just not that satisfied with my meyer 5m.... its just not...... enough. im...
A sticky G# key has happened to me on every (many) saxophone that I've owned. It is the key where most of your saliva (yuk) drains out of the horn. (basically...
I would try two things- First, make sure your embouchure is consistent, and that the intensity of the higher notes is not causing you to clench your jaw for...
first of all are you using the cannonball classical mouthpiece that came with it? my teacher said that the way the beak is there are a bunch of issues with...
Hi Kim, Congrats on getting your first horn! You will remember this horn FOREVER (good OR bad!) Ha As far as the Olds horn...........I don't personally have...
Olds Made wonderfull Brass instruments in the 40-67. I have a Olds Super Trumpet. The company went under in the early 70s so anything with the name on it ...
What name is on it is much less important than how it works for you. I think few people would say a later-model Buescher is a top-quality saxophone, yet I've...
Very good advice Leslie! How ya'll doin out that way? It's wonderful here in "sunny San Diego"....it was "Africa Hot" last week!! Deb "Some people are like...
For my Gerald Albright Cannonball Alto, I use an extra-fine talc called "gig dust" and 2" square cloths that looks like dry Strydex pads. It gets off the...
RE:G#! I use a dab of Neet's Foot Oil on a Q-tip... Rub it on the pad and it will not stick again for a long time. Of course if you drink "adult malt...
Hey everyone. I just wanted to share some information, and hopefully start a valu added discussion on each person's favorite reed. I am a new player and have...
I was surfing the web and read that a dollar bill works well in order to clean and dry off the G# so that it stops sticking when mid session. Due to the...
I recently switched back to firbracells after a few years on cane reeds. I have fallen in love with them all over again. I, too like the medium soft. I don't ...
I used a softish fibracell with my Cannonball Bari because it makes the low register speak so much easier and cleaner than any cane reed I've tried. I also use...
Hopefully someone can help me so I can help my daughter. She is up at band camp this week..the only bari sax player for 3 different bands at FSU. She is...
You guys got me interested but when I read the reviews on WWBW.com it sounds like they went from Gold to Trash. Where can I get some of the Med. Soft reeds vs....
Way to go Steph!!!!! I have noticed in the years since I played seriously that reed quality has gone to hell in a handbasket. Jim Bjork was right--you get a...
Yes, she did. I will suggest she use the other one and try it with a 2.5. Her private teacher would kill her if she used more than 2.5, he was seriously angry...
It's worth noting that the Selmer C* on Bari is a fairly long-shanked mouthpiece and thus needs to be pushed on farther than others, or so it appears. As my ...
Ok, so I am going to lessons every Thursday for 1/2 hour. The person next to me(myinstructor) obviously plays better than me, but can he really teach it? That...
