"Finally this is the trumpet that I was looking
for. A big and soft sound at the same time. I don't
need to change trumpets for a different
style of music or a different trumpet for a recording
session, Cannomball isthe most versatile trumpet in the market."

“Throughout my career I rarely have changed equipment or
been swayed by the ‘newest thing’. Cannonball Trumpets have
changed my mind. They are wonderfully consistent in sound, feel
and intonation. I am amazed how great the sound is from the lower
register to the high. The intonation and slotting of the high
register is superb. I feel comfortable on these horns whether
I’m playing lead in a session or in a classical chamber group.”

"My Cannonball has an incredible full sound in the upper register
and a nice dark solo sound on the lower end. It's free blowing--I
can play on it all night--I love the horn!"

"The Cannonball trumpets have shocked me from the beginning of their
existance and the sound is purely amazing! My peers complement me on a
constant basis on how great this horn sounds! From the first go, it
seemed as if this was made just for me!!! I am as happy as happy can
be with Cannonball!!"

"After going through countless horns looking for the suitable match
for my versatile needs, I found the Model 725 Cannonball Trumpet.
From the first moment I played the horn I could hear the difference
in the richness of it's tone compared to every other horn I'd tried.
It's impeccable slotting in the high register sealed the deal for me.
It felt as though every horn I played before was a toy and finally I
had experienced the real thing. My Bach has been in the closet ever
since. Whether I'm on an intimate gig at the neighborhood jazz cafe
or playing lead with an R&B group in a sports arena, it feels and
sounds the way a trumpet should"

"The word that sums up why I love my new 725-B so much is versatility.
Whether I'm playing lead on Broadway, a section part at a session,
or something more legit, I know I'm going to get the sound that I
want with the least amount of effort. The horn is so open from top
to bottom, and the notes slot incredibly well. High, low, warm,
bright, loud, soft...this horn makes it easier to do it all. In
short, my new 725-B makes me an even better trumpet player!"

The first time I played one of the Cannonball trumpets was for about 15 minutes
during a Manhattan Theater Club benefit last year. One year later I borrowed a friend’s
Cannonball trumpet for 2 days and that was it. Decision made !!! How and where can I
get one of these trumpets?
After playing several of Cannonball’s trumpets, I chose the Stone Series, 725
Bb,Black Nickel Plated. Playing lead in a big band, sitting in the trumpet section of a
Broadway show, doing a jingle, pumping out some funk, r and b horn section stuff, or
just playing a ballad on a record date, the horn takes it all in stride.
This trumpet has a great core sound, just the right amout of sizzle in the upper
register as well as ease of playing there, responsive valves and an even, consistent blow
from bottom to top. Also, the fit and finish are impeccable.
If you’re looking for a trumpet that gets “all” of it done, Cannonball is the one to
have.
