Cannonball Big Bell Stone Series saxophones establish an unprecedented blend of bold sound and looks. These saxophones bolster the player's sound by creating broad presence, and exceptional projection while equally enabling subtle, nuanced playing. A perfectly balanced, light action provides a feel that is unparalleled.
The versatility of the Cannonball Big Bell Stone Series Saxophones is further enhanced with two different hand-customized necks, included with each saxophone.
Visually, the Stone Series combines medieval art with nature's stunning beauty. Sixteen semi-precious stones from the deep earth adorn specially designed keys, necks, and lightweight guards. The combination of the stones, the hand-drawn design of the guards and engravings, and the unique array of finishes make each saxophone an art piece in itself.
Optional key button risers can be ordered for palm and side keys in three different heights: 4mm (standard), 8mm, and 10mm.
