Need some advice from the wise warriors of saxdom. 🙂 A neighbor of my Mom's in Florida just took up the saxophone and has been taking lessons and doing very well. However, he has been having intonation problems with the cheapo alto sax he is learned on. Keen to take a step up, he wrote me this email today.
"Lori,
Today at the music store I tried a $2,500 sax with brand name Cannonball. Have you ever heard of it? It was black nickel and played very good. It even played a true C# with all holes open. I just never heard of that brand, and wondered if you knew anything about it."
Sad to say - I know nothing of the Cannonball - except the jumping off a dock into a lake kind.
He is a very dear soul and I would hate for him to spend $2500 on this if you have better advice for him.
Thanks!
