Especificações
Traditional Bell
The bell and bore size of Vintage Reborn® saxophones are the culmination of years of study, design, and testing to find the ultimate balance in rich core sound, lively response, and superb intonation.
One-piece Hand-hammered Bell
Each Cannonball saxophone bell is formed from a single sheet of brass and hand hammered before being meticulously hand-smoothed and evened.
Hand-customized Vintage Reborn Neck
Each Vintage Reborn alto and tenor saxophone include a VR neck, with a taper carefully designed to optimize the sound and response of the saxophone. The neck is acoustically hand-customized to the saxophone for superior projection, rich tone, and precise pitch.
Semi-precious Stones
Semi-precious stones adorn the key touches of the Vintage Reborn Series. These beautiful stones give the instrument a striking look, and are also patented for the way they change the instrument’s resonance.

The artisans at our facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA have studied the art of saxophone engraving from the mid 1900s and add pioneering techniques, creating stunning designs that preserve and promote this jeweler’s art. These masterful engravings turn each saxophone into a unique piece of art in itself.
High F#
The High F# key extends the saxophone’s range and makes high passages easier to play.
Ribbed Construction
Posts are silver-soldered onto metal “ribs” that are then soft-soldered to the saxophone body. This makes the instrument stronger and more rigid, which helps keep the instrument in adjustment and minimizes damage if hit or dropped.
Ribbed construction also makes the horn easier to repair if damage does occur. This means that if serious damage is done to the saxophone, your repair costs will be lower.
Detachable Bell And Bow
The bell and bow can be removed from the body by a qualified repair technician in the event of serious damage. This reduces repair costs as it allows repairs to be done quicker, easier, and more effectively. *N/A on Straight Soprano
Annealed Bell, Bow And Necks
The bell, bow, and necks go through an annealing process several times, heating and then cooling the brass to specific temperatures. This annealing process gives the horn a warmer, more even tone.
The Cannonball hand-hammering process, which follows annealing, hardens the brass and gives our instruments superior ring and resonance.
Italian Pisoni Water-resistant Leather Pads W/wool Felt
Our Italian Pisoni water-resistant leather pads have been specifically chosen for long life, excellent sealing, and the superior feel they add to the key action.
Convex Nickel-plated Brass Resonators
Our pads have riveted nickel-plated brass resonators that are specifically chosen for optimum performance and sound.
Blue Steel Springs
Steel needle springs allow for the most precise, even key tension. The bluing process makes the steel resistant to rust and corrosion, which extend the life of the springs.
Power Forged Keys
Forged brass has much greater strength and uniformity than cast brass, so our keys resist bending and hold their adjustment exceptionally well over time.
Upper And Lower Stack Adjustment Screws
Upper and lower stack adjustment screws allow for easier and more precise regulation and adjustment. Under each stack adjustment screw we use synthetic cork, which (unlike natural cork) resists compression over time, so the fine adjustments on your saxophone will last.
Adjustable Metal Thumb Hook
Our sturdy brass thumb hook is adjustable so you can set it to the angle that best fits your own hands.
Pivoting C#-bb Table Mechanism
The “tilting spatula” rocking mechanism allows fast and fluid transitions between the low C-sharp and low B-flat keys.
Stabilizing Brace For Left Hand Spatula
The four left-hand table keys are susceptible to being knocked out of adjustment when their top post moves, so we have added an additional lateral brace to keep it in place, especially when the horn is hit or dropped. *N/A on Curved Soprano
Relief Springs On G# And Low C# Keys
Relief springs help lift open the G-sharp and low C-sharp keys when they would otherwise “stick” and remain closed.
Machined One-piece Neck Receiver
Instead of soldering the post that holds the neck tension and lyre screws, our receiver is machined out of a solid piece of brass. This adds great strength and durability to the neck receiver. *N/A on Straight Soprano
Hard Rubber Mouthpiece
Cannonball Mouthpieces are made of quality hard rubber and carefully crafted play easily and to create a clear, rich, beautiful tone. They are the choice of many professional saxophonists around the world.
Acoustically Hand Customized By A Professional
Acoustical Customizing is the most important thing that happens to each Cannonball saxophone. This work goes above and beyond expectations. Specially trained and talented acoustical adjusters work on each saxophone, adjusting the bore, air flow and more until they are satisfied that each horn has an open feel, effortless slotting, and a focused and resonant tone. When you pick up a Cannonball saxophone, we want you to love it as much as our acoustical technicians love it. We want you to say, “I can’t put this horn down!”
Case
Vintage Reborn saxophones come in a vintage inspired, wood-shell case with padding molded to your instrument for the best of modern protection. The Vintage case is covered in a beautiful tan faux leather, and the interior is lined with a soft, plush purple fabric with “Cannonball” embossed on the inside lid.
