Descrição
ARTIST SERIES
The Cannonball® Artist Series Saxophones were created with one mission: To be the best concert saxophone in the world. This meant creating an instrument with an exceptionally even and focused timbre, a warm and clear tone, superior intonation, and a superb feel and response.
Eight years of prototyping have led to perfectly placed and sized tone holes, optimal bore, refined key mechanisms, and innovations such as a collet neck receiver (patent pending) and concentric C# mechanism (A7) to correct C# octave spread, resulting in instruments that will inspire the most demanding saxophonists in the concert hall.
PRECISION BORE AND TONE HOLE DESIGN
ARTIST SERIES NECK
Each Artist Series saxophone comes with an Artist Series neck, hand customized for superior projection, tone, and pitch. We spend a considerable amount of time making sure each neck is just right.
Especificações
Traditiona bell
The traditional sized bell has a focused projection with a compact core and lively resonance.
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 neck
Each Artist Series saxophone comes with an Artist Series neck, hand customized for superior projection, tone, and pitch. We spend a considerable amount of time making sure each neck is just right.
Semi-precious stones
Semi-precious stones adorn the key touches of the Artist Series. These beautiful stones give the instrument a striking look, and are also patented for the way they change the instrument’s resonance.
Hand engraved
Every Artist Series saxophone is hand engraved by our Cannonball Artisans with the elegant “Frolicking Foliage” Tier 2 Premium Engraving
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 bowbow and necks
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.
Triple-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 water-resistant leathers pads w/wool felt
Our Italian water-resistant leather pads have been specifically chosen for long life, excellent sealing, and the superior feel they add to the key action.
Convex nickle-plated brass resonators
Our pads have riveted nickel-plated brass resonators that are specifically chosen for optimum performance and sound.
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 molded brass, so our keys resist bending and hold their adjustment exceptionally well over time.
Upper and lower stack adjustmente 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#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 spatulas
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.
Relief springs on G# and low C# keys
Relief springs help lift open the G-sharp and 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.
Double bell to body brace *Bari Only*
*BARI ONLY* In addition to the front-to-back stabilization of the traditional “logo” brace, we added a side-to-side brace on our tenors and baritones to keep the bell section in place if the horn is hit or dropped.
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.
Hand Acoustcally customized by a professional
The most important thing that sets Cannonball® apart is the acoustical customizing that we do to every instrument. 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 altissimo, rich lows, even timbre, full-bodied sound, and in-line overtones. When you pick up a Cannonball® saxophone, we want you to enjoy it as much as our acoustical technicians do – we want you to say, “I can’t put this horn down!”
