Innovations in instrument making from Salt Lake City
Cannonball was founded in 1996 by Sheryl and Tevis Laukat. They had previously started optimizing saxophones in their kitchen. This “Acoustic Customization” is still the basis for the excellent Cannonball quality. They now employ 25 people in Salt Lake City, Utah, as well as hundreds of employees in other countries, such as the two factories in Taiwan. Through their passion for building the best instruments for even the most demanding professionals and also for creating high-quality entry-level series, they developed the “Big bell” for saxophones and other innovative designs in instrument making, for which they have registered a total of 30 trademarks and patents.
The popular saxophones that they have been successfully building for years are all acoustically optimized. These adjustments go far beyond adjusting tone holes and using smooth-running valves and keys. This acoustic perfection of the instruments is what is special about Cannonball. After they are production in Taiwan, the finishing takes place not far from Salt Lake City in Sandy, Utah.
This makes every Cannonball saxophone a custom shop instrument that “sings” and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of playability, response and projection. The instrument makers in Taiwan and Utah achieve craftsmanship of the highest quality, which is subjected to the strictest controls. In Utah, the professional instruments are also hand-engraved. The goal is always to make it difficult to put the instrument down in the end. It often happens that employees would rather keep the instruments themselves than sell them.
