I realized you had the black lacquer finish. Does the finish really matter that much or is it all for looks. I know it makes some difference but is it really that much?

[gvSAXBOY]

That sax sounded different to me. Think the lacquer process did figure in but not as much as a different mouthpiece can.

Hey greg!

I'm purchasing a new tenor saxophone and I really have no clue what to get. I heard about these cannonball saxes but I know many other people havent heard of them. Any ideas. Price range is under 4000. I'm not sure whether i want a bright sound or a warm sound either.

[gvSAXBOY]

Cannonball is a good company and they have saxes many younger players seem to really like. I have played them and don't care for most of them. They used to be a real deal and option, but at 4k, Yamaha is cheaper and better. Yamaha is one of the 3 main makers, Selmer, Yamaha and Yanagisawa. Keilworth used to make 4.

My advice, get a Custom Z Yamaha, check on line for a good price and it will be worth something if you ever want to sell or trade it.

Thanks for the advice. =]

Thanks Myriad! Steve and I played together a lot over the years. He was in my band first. Yes I was the smart one! Then we hired each other for some dates and then I did some with him for a while too. We just keep crossing paths and always have a kindred spirit when on stage together!

I'll let him know to include me SE MI dates!
