Windcraft Cannonball T5-25 Anniversary Model – Tenor Saxophone

Cannonball Celebrate 25 years in style

Since 1996, Cannonball has been at the forefront of Saxophone design and innovation, looking to produce an individual saxophone that offered something different. To celebrate 25 years in business, Cannonball presents a special edition of their Big Bell Stone Series Saxophone, a sax that typifies everything they set out to achieve.

Compared to the standard Stones Series Saxophones, The T5-25 features a Nickel Silver Bell, Standard neck, and Fat Neck, allowing for an enhanced feel and response, as well as a much greater resonance. This all combines for an instrument that allows for more nuance and finesse whilst also providing a much bigger and thicker sound than previously possible.

A Special Edition Cannonball wouldn’t be complete without something to set it apart aesthetically and boy have they done that. The usual engraving set is replaced with a super intricate and stunning ‘White Tiger’ Engraving, usually reserved for custom orders. Set on the Black Nickel background, this is a truly wonderful piece of work, helping turn a top-notch saxophone into a work of art.

 As with the regular Stone Series, the instrument is adorned with 16 semi-precious stones, which in this case are a striking set of ‘Snakeskin Jasper’ stones.
