I have recently purchased a Cannon Ball Gerald albrite Tenor. I am a pro player on the east coast. I played a Selmer MK VI for 30 yrs. This horn is unbelievable, It plays so easy and the sound is huge. I have since retired my Selmer. Does anybody have any expeiences with this sax?

I bought a Cannonball sax from Scimonetti Band & Orchestra and LOVE IT!!!
Here's their web-site
http://www.scimonetti.com
These guys are awsome! They have a huge store, but NO GUITARS OR DRUMS. Everyone who works there is a pro sax player, so they give you real good advice.
I came there looking for a Yanigasawa alto sax. I've never even heard of Cannonball. They put me in a room with over $200,000 in saxophones! Every single Selmer, Yamaha, Cannonball, Yanigasawa, Keilwerth, and a huge selection of vintage saxophones! They also have a huge selections of mouthpieces as well. I couldn't possibly play through it all in one day.
Since I drove from LA (about 45 minutes north), Jimmy Scimonetti adjusted my tenor sax for free. It's never played better! If you live in California, you gotta visit this place. I'm sick of talking to guitar players at other music stores about what reed I should use!
