Cannonball Trumpets 

I just purchased a used Cannonball from a local music store in the Memphis, Tn area. Beautiful sound. I am a French Horn player. I also played Mellophone and marching French Horn. I was a little skeptical about this horn. So I wanted to look up more information about it. But as soon as I picked it up, I knew this was the horn for me!

Why would you care how she holds the trumpet? Clearly she is an experienced musician with a nice sound, why would this detail be the oly thing that elicits a comment from you?

Got a nice Black Nickle Silver, works well in Jazz Band, a very full sound.

Angle has NOTHING to do with anything. She sounds WONDERFUL!!!!

I love cannonball trumpets.. I have one of my own. It's black and it works terrific. (:

@Cheeser2012 look at her overbite, that's the only way she CAN hold it to get any sound.

Can we see one of these hot potatoes rip out some Dizzy? The classical tone is through the roof, but how do they sound in a big band/combo?

Cannonball doesnt deal their instruments online directly. Mainly due to fraud and all that stuff. You could always try ebay for a used one, but I wouldnt trust them on their "brand new" cannonball saxophones.

damn!!!!beautifull horns..ppssyeah right,...my cannonball ball 725b trumpet..the black trumpet is messing up....the brass is colapsing and messing up the black finish....i know itz not me or my sweat cuz i don't hold it from where the finish is missing

Until you play like Phil Smith the horn should be vertical. The angle will depend on the individual face and underlying structure. SO some play uphill other play way downhill most are in between.

The Cannonball line in general sounds good, the finishes are great (Mad Meg), the only drawback is they are not American made trumpets. There is a reason Monette, Bach and Kanstul are a most widely played and in the case of Bach, copied, trumpets in the world. At least there are a hand full of things we still do right, and trumpets top the list.

while her sound is great, the angle of the horn looks like it impedes air flow and strains muscles.

if u got the money you can do whatever the heck u want (also im a trombone player 10th grade)

Weird grip. Musically irrelevant, but still weird. I like it! =)

The way she tilts her horn is correct. Her horn angle is terrible though. A nice sound.

@jsteuernol Monette braces look better and the trumpets SOUND better too.

So is Philip Smith's. Bottom line: Do what works for you.

How a trumpet player holds the instrument is personal preference as to what is most comfortable to them. Those who play the trumpet knows this including me, those who don't play the trumpet should shut the hell up and stop talking about stuff you don't know nothing about :)

Annoying orange. 1:41

I don't like those tiny little dinky braces....
