- I am excited to share with you my new Gerald Albright Signature Series Alto Saxophone from Cannonball. This video shows me unboxing it and doing a quick play test for the first time. It's a beautiful horn and when I played it I found it extremely responsive and free blowing. I can't wait to use this instrument in the future!! What's your opinion of the sax?!

From the Cannonball Website:
"The Gerald Albright Signature Pro Series saxophones take the Big Bell Stone Series to another level. In collaboration with Gerald Albright, we designed the elaborate hand-engraving that adorns each saxophone with a strikingly elegant look. The black Italian pads complete the look of these saxophones, and embody the soul of the master, Gerald Albright, himself."

That thing is gorgeous I just had an eyegasm
De ath Me, too. I also had one looking at the horn just out of the case.
I got that one last year, I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it
How much was it
My school had one of these for us saxophones to try out as a “step-up” horn. EVERYONE fought over it, however i was lucky enough to play it for one day, and ohhh my goodness it is THE BEST! It’s almost as if you can feel every note you play, the sound is so smooth, just an amazing horn in general, if you are thinking about getting one, GET ONE!
bruh looking back on this, I remember our school had the tenor variant of this, and I was the lucky bastard who got to try it out. NGL if i had the cash for this, I would get it.
I would do a lot of things for a cannonball sax. Everyone here is just like "Yo, I just got a new Cannonball Alto Sax! It's so amazing." And I'm just here like "I think my Chinese Alto is okay."
Patience.. One day you'll get yours too!
Lol thanks. Also how do you set up your mic with your sax? I have a Samson C01U or however you spell it and if you were to hear me play irl you hear I have good tone and strong high notes and low notes. But when I record into the mic and play it back, it sounds like a little kid is playing.
And now you get a TAIWANESE HORN! Score!
That gave me chills
Congratulations
Whether or not cannonball make good saxophones I don't know (never played one), but I'm calling bs on the fact that the material for the touches changes the tone!
Mark Chapman yeah that’s a bunch of bs. It’s snake oil for people that believe that crap.
they never said that it changes the sound, but that it changes the resonance.
Changes the overall tone a lil and fine characteristics. Stuff people hear but don't know why. My silver plated horn just always has a shrilly tone. My brass horns always sound warm unless forced. It's subtle but if you don't play enough to notice you'll never notice, but i tell ya whay the build from cannonball is very good. Finally after 7 years I had to do a minor screw tightening and that is it!
i have a cannonball tenor saxophone the Raven Big Bell Series and its awesome.
It's beautiful. Aesthetics and sound.
Very helpful video. Thank you!
I've had a cannonball Raven for about 5 years and I love it
they are great
Cannonballs are the best!
Oh my God...
You sir are one lucky guy !!!!!!!
You deserved it, good sir. All of your videos were fun to listen to!
Who got légère reeds ad?
not me yet
Dirty Dan .-. Omfg me 😂
Dirty Dan .-. Why do I see you everywhere
Me omg
Me
My opinion is the sax has a colorful rich blend with some some jazz sound :]
hes also using a jazz mouthpiece
I just got mine today same case and everything, with the rovner reed holder, size 2.5, 3, and 4 reed strengths by Vandoreon, and the whole 9 yards. It's plays like a dream and is absolutely and dream
Just got 1 about 4 months ago and im loving it
Hi there just want to ask you how much did you pay for your saxophone ?
I dream of getting one of my own saxophones! Your so awesome!!!!
Want this now!
That sax looks so amazing!!
Thanks
I play an black nickel cannonball alto as well. I love the sound of the mouthpiece. What is it? Interested in using a metal instead of hard rubber..
it looks beautiful
beautiful just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
I have that exact same alto saxophone. Same color,shape, tone, neck, and design. Cool man
Tremendous! How do you like it?
BriansThing oh I love this saxophone it looks awesome I love it so much I have been playing this thing for hours
ArticularCord 13 how much does it cost
Likeiamthemaster I don't remember the price. Sorry
Where did u buy them guys? Is there a link to buy them? Thanks
Buying myself a cannonball tenor when I graduate
Sick sax dude.
Did they send it to you for free?
Going to pick up My Cannonball Big Bell Stone series “ Raven” Tenor tomorrow cant wait ! I too played it 15 min and fell in love. Looks like my Selmer Super Action 80 will have to take a back seat for a while 🎷
How is it
BriansThing love it ! Liked my Tenor so much I bought a matching Alto. The sound is amazing .
Next time it should be a Bari Sax.
Mine is on the way! I ordered the Alto and the Tenor!! I cant Wait!
cool I have played the tenor also and it was awesome!
+badazzseal How much did the Tenor cost with shipping?
+badazzseal Where can i order them new?
I cant seem to find dealer near me
+badazzseal how much was the tenor
+badazzseal WAIT. where did you buy it? Because Cannonball does not sell online.
Great sound!!! How does the key action compare to yamaha 62's?
I just bought one mine is the big bell tenor mine is the same color and when I played it. It sounds beautiful
Awesome! How is it playing now?
BriansThing Brian it has been 3 years , but it plays amazing man . I'm so happy to see how successful you are. Have you seen La La Land because you are the real life Sebastian
I'm trying to find a good mouth piece and I was just wondering what mouthpiece you are using.
So pretty :) I love the cannonballs X3 I found they are pretty good, I also have one :D
I just got one. They are legit
Such a beautiful instrument- looks&sounds amazing.
Awesome 👍
just beautiful!!
i am just getting one right now for myself and i cannot wait till it comes in!
Did you get it yet?
Yes i did :D its GREAT!
Good stuff Brian... I wish I had one.... my feel is the Mad Meg sax... its very bright
I need a sax like that!
I got a Cannonball Raven Tenor. Best sax I've ever played.
sweet horn man
My daughter got one two weeks ago Really love it. Do you have the white Diamond mouthpiece too like Gerald Albright?
What Mouthpieces you playing here. ?
Dude I luv ur vids they inspire me so much
Thank you! Keep playing!
It looks only a little different from the Cannonball I have sitting here next to my desk. I don't have the silver plate down the body. I have the black lacquer running up the entire length, but otherwise mine is identical. Same stones, same silver keys and bars. The horn looks beautiful! Make sure you take care of that lacquer so it stays nice and shiny!
Great advice! Lacquer looking good
Must... Have... HORN!!!
I just ordered an A5-L Stone Series Big Bell.
Awesome vid as always!
THAT IS SUCH A NICE SAX!!!!!!!!
i almost got one of these when i was picking my second sax for concert season in high school (other sax is a Jupiter capital edition) however it lost out to a 1952 king zephyr. The cannonball Gerald Albright is one of the nicest horns i have ever seen and played it sounds good and has great action.
awesome
I remember the first time i played a cannonball. My life was changed forever lol but are you endorsed by them now?
Congrats on the new sax, few things in life are awesome as that!
Thank you so much! I am still loving it!
Honestly, I don't like how plastic-y this horn sounds. Your playing is amazing though, good work Brian!
+Machuu I agree.
coming back a year later,
way.
too.
bright.
man cannonball saxophones sound awesome. he just plays weird af
Matt Holden it’s not the horn.. it’s Brian who plays like that.. he plays corny and doesn’t have a good articulation.. any good musician would tell right away
It’s not just bright...it’s Albright. Ba dum dum...ching! It’s a beautiful horn and no doubt well made. It does have a little bit of kazoo meets plastic toy horn but it’s easier to cut highs with a dark mouthpiece than to try and brighten an overly dark horn. Cannonball have come a long way from their old tanks they used to make. Good enough for Ernie Watts...good enough for me. Although, I play a silver WoodStone
You should use that beautiful saxophone.... To make a Talk dirty to Me cover!!!!
I play a cannon ball Bari sax and its amazing
one day I will have one too
What mouthpieces do you use for tenor, alto and soprano saxophone? And what ligature. I strongly recommend the vandoren optimum ligature with the plate with four points. It is well worth the purchase! Try it out!
UltraFolder Productions and what reeds do you use? model and size
How did you get that cannonball saxophone
Lucky you! Very nice
I want a new bari😭
I have this sax and it doesnt look like this anymore... how are they cleaned? The silver is tarnishing and oxidizing.
use a jewelry cloth to clean the sliver part of it
I have also this horn, silverplating is bad quality. Dark/brown spots on it, hard to clean. It looks good when new. After several years the silver is gone.
what a wonderfull sound :D
Nice Saxophone !!!
I’ve been looking to purchase this but i can’t seem to find it anywhere
The graduation 👍🏾🎷. Where did you get the neck strap from
I have a dark lacquer P. Mauriat, and mine isn't as cool as that, but I feel like the sound is similar.
how much is the price range of alto saxophones? 🙏🏻
Would cannonball saxophones be good for a lead alto in a big band?
Yes I think so
The big bell series saxophones from cannonball have a much bigger sound than most other saxophones with the bigger bell. They would be great for a big band.
Amazing. What reed and mouth price u using
I have to say, I have been playing the saxophone since 1975. My first horn was a Bundy Alto. In 1976 my parents purchased a "Selmer Mark VI" Tenor Sax for me when I made Senior Band. I have to say, that my Cannonball Stone Series Tenor sounds just as good, if not better, than my Mark VI. These horns are fabulous! I hate all the haters out there who continue to put these sax's down.
Yes, at the end of the day I love playing my Cannonball more than my old alto. To me that is all that matters!
I have a raven Soprano , alto and tenor . I put down my Selmer Paris Mark Vi for a cannonball. Best saxes I’ve ever played period. I’m a professional player and for Rock, funk, pop it’s the best there bar none ! I do still use my ase my Selmer Paris set of saxes for Classical as my Selmers Have a darker more centered softer focused sound which is a bit better for Classical . But for Rock music, Jazz, Blues , pop fusion it’s Cannonball all the way. You can get so loud down and dirty I’ve had people say they like the sax even better for death metal solos than guitar 👍
OMG I WANT THAT SAX SOOO BAD
If u get vandoren reeds and a good mouthpiece like a yamaha 4c it’s sound sooo good
I got a cannonball brute alto and i love it!!!!
What neck strap are you using? mine just broke and im looking for a new one
I have a big bell stone series myself i love I'm trying to get back into playing myself. That saxophone is really nice I like the black/gold color on mine better though. I love your tone quality.
ShadowThiHedgehog cool have you also seen the white one with the gold keys?
nooo i haven't link me
Hi Brian, Thanks for review this... really appreciate. Please which would you pick? GA alto series or big bell alto black ruby? I am looking to play more high note, altisimos e.t.c thanks
The Gerald Albright is an awesome horn. Altissimo really pops. It's a brighter horn. The Black Ruby is a little darker and smoother across all the notes. You can also push it too in the altissimo. I love both horns. My buddy Gabriel Bello plays a Black Ruby alto. You can probably message him on Instagram and get his opinion too!
Badass sax
Where did you buy it? I can't even find them online.
wonderful saxophone !!!!!!!!
Do you have a cool awesome song for an alto sax
D?... Does the fat neck make for a lower tone? I'm kind of intermediate, and right now I'm working with a Selmer SAS280, Vandoren V-16 mouthpiece. Is there such a thing as a fat neck for a Selmer? Nice work!
The different bore sizes of sax necks can change how the sax feels to you and maybe a little difference in sound, but mainly how it feels. I'm not sure about selmer, but Yamaha has loads of different necks (lacquering, bore size, etc)
Sorry to say this about Brian, but most of the things he said about the sax is purely cosmetic and doesn't effect your tone or the way the sax sounds, they're just marketing scams... the sax and mouthpiece you currently have are great! There isn't a need to change your setup, trust me.
Do I mind telling the differences between the two necks plz
What kind of a reed are u using
Would there be any concerns with playing this horn in a wind ensemble or concert band?
do u know any saxaphone shopes that i could get a decent sax ive been in band for 3 years and i dot wanna spend alot of money
CaptianSNiPeZ HD Where do you live? If you can find good used sax from a shop that does consignments, you could end up with a real gem without spending a fortune.
Hey I've been playing alto sax for 3 years and I recently just switched to tenor sax. Is there anywere I can find sheet music that are real song for tenor
Is there anything that sets this sax apart from its other competitors? Any draw backs? (I'm thinking of buying it.)
I play Trombone. How did I end up watching Saxophone videos? I started at tenor and alto Trombones.
its a sign
\
because saxophones are better than trombones
BriansThing I used to be play a trombone but I think it sucks /:
bone and tenor are the perfect resonance--ask Chicago !
You can get a Cannonball Trumbone😎
Damn now I want one
How much does this horn cost?
How much did the Alto cost you? And is there a website one can order from?
I think he got one for free to review. There are plenty on ebay if youre still looking.
website :"suck on this:"
Beautiful horn. Cannonball still needs a few adjustments, but overall, I have played their soprano and alto and they have AMAZING sound. I think they will soon rival companies like Selmer and Yamaha.
oi,voce manda pro Brasil,quanto que sai um para o Brasil,rio de janeiro,voce envia !obrigado, espero a resposta.
I play saxophone and I reccomend trying out the selmer AS42 Alto Sax. It has the same key placement as a mark vi, and it sounds really good. I recommend the silver plated version.
also a very good sax
Hey I'm a newer tenor sax player and I'm looking for an affordable sax but I don't know where to begin help?
Pro!!!
Now that you've played it, which neck do you like better?
where can i get this sax ?
Thanks
how much does it cost?
What brand is that metal mouth piece you use?
GingaNinja729 Oleg 7
Hey, which mouthpiece do you use?
Where did you get that I've been looking for it online and can't find it anywhere
FadingSpade they don't sell them online, but if you go to their website you can find a local retailer
Killer Memestar oh ok thanks. I'll check, I have a Rivard brothers near me it's just hard to find time with school and football. Appreciate it😊
Definitely buy from a dealer instead of on ebay.
