This Cannonball Gerald Albright GA5-SB is ideal for the advanced or professional player looking for a top of the line sax. This sax was purchased new from us in 2009 and is in good condition. In collaboration with Gerald Albright, Cannonball designed the elaborate hand engraving that adorns each saxophone with a strikingly elegant look. Gerald chose the stone type and the select finishes that perfectly complete the purpose of these saxophones: to embody the bold, soulful sound performed no better than by the master, Gerald Albright himself.  

BIG BELL®
The Big Bell®, created by Cannonball® in 2001, enhances the ability to create a broad range of dynamics for a depth of the sound color and lower partials. The increased size also lends to a big, warm sound.   

SEMI-PRECIOUS STONES
Gerald selected multi-coloured Picasso Jasper semi-precious stones to adorn the key touches, necks, and bell key guard of the Gerald Albright Series. No two sets of stones are exactly the same, making your horn unique in the fine details. These beautiful stones give the instrument a striking look, and are also patented for the way they change the instrument’s resonance. 

ENGRAVINGS
In collaboration with Gerald Albright, Cannonball designed the elaborate hand engraving that adorns each saxophone with a strikingly elegant appearance. Looking at the engraving, you might spot Gerald’s hobby when he’s not making music. (Gerald is an avid golfer!) Each instrument is hand engraved at our facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. To preserve and promote this jeweler’s art, the masterful engravings turn each saxophone into a unique piece of art in itself.    

TWO NECKS
Each Gerald Albright Series saxophone comes standard with two hand-customized necks. The second neck is the FAT Neck® which has the octave tube on the underside of the neck, creating less resistance of air-flow, resulting in a FAT sound with more lows, more mids, less highs.

Wear & Tear Observations: Although this saxophone is 15 years old, is it is an good condition. There are no dinks, dents or wear to the lacquer. Just some fine scratches to the saxes body and crook stop this sax from looking as good. It has recently had a full service ready for sale and has had a full set of tan leather pads fitted.
