Big Pictures of The Raven

[Joe Jazz]

I have a few pics of the finish but do not know how to post them. If you want me to e-mail them to you let me know your e-mail address.

[Bari Playa]

Hey thats great can you e-mail them to me? rlpimpin_228@yahoo.com

[JLLloyd]

That would be awesome if you can email me. My retailer does not get many CB's in and has no ravens of any type coming in anytime soon. I priced a Raven Bari about 2 weeks ago, will probably order it in the next few months. Any pictures you could email would be great!!! btw.. I am playing a Mexi Conn low Bb Bari now... looking forward to playing the raven. Email is jleslielloyd@hotmail.com THANKS!!

Here are a couple pics of the Raven tenor (Stone Series) that I took a while back for a customer:

Thanks RX8!

[RX8SaxMan]

No problem. We have a ton of saxes here so give me a shout if you need pics of anything else.

Man, I hate those goofy colored stones. Can the horn be had with normal pearls, or at least stones that complement the horn color (black maybe)?

Agreed. Then again, I only like plain lacquer finishes and white pearls.

[John Sacksman]

Normally I would agree with you morry but I think that those stones on the raven look pretty good, kinda of a dark bluish greenish blackish color. what kind are those anyways?

[DukeCity]

I just play tested a Raven bari (review on another thread), and the stones were black/gray and looked GREAT! Is it possible that the stones in the pics above just looke kinda greenish in the photos?

[RX8SaxMan]

The stones in that tenor I posted are "Green Bog". I actually think they look pretty cool, but of course Cannonball lets us order them with any stones we want.

DukeCity, I think you're talking about the Picasso Jasper Dark. I agree with you that those look pretty sick. I personally own a BS tenor with those stones and I love the way it looks.

[DukeCity]

Gotcha. Thanks!;)

[Bari Playa]

hey RX8SaxMan, you wouldn't happen to have any pics of a cb bari would you? any finish is fine. thanks



BARI PLAYA

I have pix of the CB raven bari on my group.

[ssleb]

What are you talking about?! I'd love to have those stones!

[boclcown]

Nah... oddly colored stones like that just look toyish.

I feel the same way about any sax that is laquered something wierd, such as black. I hate these players that use the odd color to get all kinds of "wows" from people who know absoultely nothing about the quality of an instrument. To most people, that $400 black chineese crap sax is a professional and my $2,500 laquered (gold) Custom Z is just another one of those normal ones.

Anyways, aren't instruments supposed to be about the sound. Since when have they become a fasion statement?

[Randall]

boc, my experience is that most people are wowed by my horns' looks only after they hear me play and want to talk and then see the horn and comment on it or question me about it....
UNLESS they are sax players to start with, and then they are always looking at my horns as I play them....wondering what they are.

Here in Japan everyone is floored when I show them the Cannonball the first time. They love the sound and the way they play first, the look second...just like me.

I have converted several die-hard Selmer fans here.

So why have plain jane laq (I am excluding the Ref 54 alto from this category...gorgeous laq color!) when you can have a looker?;)

[altosaxguy1]

heres my raven alto

[t-duck]

Wow! That's a beautiful horn.

I have pix of the CB raven bari on my group.
Didn't see this anywhere...

Yosef, I had it up and deleted...my bad. I will repost!
