The Cannonball T5-30 30th Anniversary Special Edition is a premium professional tenor saxophone created to celebrate 30 years of Cannonball Musical Instruments. Based on the Big Bell® Stone Series®, it combines Cannonball’s characteristic broad, warm tenor sound with an exclusive anniversary finish, premium engraving and Blue Sodalite semi-precious stones. 30th Anniversary Special Edition The T5-30 is finished in Deep Black Sapphire Lacquer on both the body and keys. It features Cannonball’s exclusive Grand Galaxy premium hand engraving, applied by Cannonball artisans in the USA. The combination of the deep sapphire finish, detailed engraving and blue stone accents gives the T5-30 a distinctive appearance within the Big Bell® Stone Series®. Blue Sodalite semi-precious stones are fitted to the key touches, both necks and the bell key guard. Cannonball uses these stones as both a visual signature and as part of its patented approach to influencing the instrument’s resonance. Big Bell® Stone Series® tenor sound The one-piece hand-hammered Big Bell® is designed to produce a bold, warm and resonant tenor sound with strong projection and a wide dynamic range. The design is inspired by the large, expressive sound associated with classic American saxophones while retaining the response and precision expected from a modern professional instrument. The bell, bow and necks are annealed during production. After annealing, the bell is hand hammered to increase resonance and help create the characteristic open response of the Big Bell® Stone Series®. Two hand-customized necks The T5-30 is supplied with two individually hand-customized necks: a matching Original neck and a silver-plated FAT Neck®. Each neck is acoustically adjusted specifically for the individual instrument to optimize projection, tone and intonation. The FAT Neck® features the octave tube on the underside of the neck and is designed to provide a more free-blowing response with additional emphasis on the middle and lower frequencies.
