Cannonball Raven tenor

[dooce]

About 5 years old - recently serviced and playing beautifully. Seriously gorgeous sax; frosted nickel finish to the body, polished nickel to the keys and semi-precious stone key-touches. 2 necks; frosted silver so-called "fat neck" with under-slung octave pip, and frosted nickel conventional neck to match the body. Massive sound, flexible player, solid build quality, great ergonomics. Even Stephen Howard is impressed - Cannonball trio saxophone review

Slight wear to a thumb-rest and a couple of palm keys but otherwise, a stunning looking instrument. Comes in a Pro-Tech Big Bell case. No mouthpiece.


£1000 with 10% to Pete's charity.

PM me for more details if needed.

Whats the advantage of an underslung octave pip if any.

It looks better? Less vulnerable to damage? It is at the optimum position in the air-stream as dictated by the laws of fluid dynamics? I honestly have no idea even if there is an advantage. I suspect the reason that they are uncommon might be to do with costs - the under-slung pip has 2 pivots to the single pivot of the conventional arrangement so it's presumably more complicated to manufacture.

Pete - just time for a change mate. I rather fancy a Yam 62 after a visit to Denmark Street the other day......

OK, it's staying so consider it withdrawn from sale. Well, for now anyway...... 🙂
