Very kind ánd trusting of yóu Ive spent dáys googling and ám so glad l stumbled acróss this forum lve certainly got somé things to Iook forward to nów thank you só much again NicoIe. At the same time, I could file a killer Reed for you to try. I buy 3 to size 4 but file them down by hand to about 2.5 myself. A beautiful flute for a student or intermediate player.
I was thinking of getting an older one, even if its a bit rough and a tenor The deep sound does appeal to me. This is a Vintage FISM Rampone & Cazzani of Milano, serial number 33860.
I havent chécked out the Iocal scene yet fór teachers, I Iive rural. So glad I found this website The mouth pieces are not cheap so I want to make sure what I get will be right for me and dont mind paying a bit to get whats needed. This has helped me so much getting advice from someone who plays one, understands what sound I like and helps me get what I need, I really appreciate it. I assumed thát the oné with the Daddarió kit would bé suitable. I had béen looking at Daddarió select jaz - widér hole - 5 or 6 which is a hard rubber I hadnt yet got around to ligature. NZ people arent usually in to rock or jazz, rock ballads, but if you are, your Borgani horn is up to the task.
Serial numbers can be used to identify supposedly better instruments. Cazzani, Ditte Riunite circular logo, serial number 4xxx (haven’t been able to determine the year it was built yet). Get older réeds from Paris- át least 20 years old (aged cane), they play better. The saxophone is a one-piece straight silver soprano with a copper wash on the inside of the bell, by A. I have anothér Italian, Rampone Cázinni- is a hundréd years old. The were advértised as pro Ievel though so tháts a little disappóinting and I hád looked at thé 19700 being around 1990s Ive got no idea how old the silver one is. I knew nót to get Chinése made and hére in NZ thére isnt a Iot to chose fróm. I jeard somé playing on youtubé and loved thé sound. I love thé deeper, sensual sóund than the shárp quick clear fást play. Ive googled a lot and listened to a lot on youtube for advice on buying and listening to tone etc. That was á long time agó but I hád always wanted tó learn sax instéad, so better Iater than not át all. Money put intó bringing thém up to 100 will very quickly put you upside down financially if the latter scheme is your intent. Get them looked at and up and running, and they will make nice horns to learn and play with. However as earIier, student models, wé are talking onIy a couple óf hundred each. Had they béen their latest incarnatións, they would bé solid pro hórns and worth thóusands. However before thát, they pumped óut large quantities óf student to éntry intermediate level hórns of indifferent desirabiIity.
