Cannonball was created in 1996 by Tevis and Sheryl Laukat, both saxophonists and vintage saxophone connoisseurs. The idea came about while doing experimental acoustic research on instruments they had available. The results convinced them to offer instruments that differed from those available. Today Cannonball not only has two exclusive factories in Taiwan, but also owns a warehouse and finishing houses in the in Utah (USA), by Salt Lake City. This is where the instruments are assembled, engraved, checked, tested and tuned. The Big Bell series was created in 2001 and aims to recapture the wide, warm sound of vintage American instruments.

The flagship of Cannonball altos, this model is unmistakable from a distance, drawing attention with its distinctive finish. The A5 series comes with two necks, providing musicians with the widest range of tones, colors, and textures. Suitable for musicians of all levels, catering to both professionals and enthusiasts, it meets the most discerning demands.
