Rampone Cazzani Serial Numbers

I defer to Jim on brand opinions as he's been around that block more than most. There's a bit of discussion I believe on R&C in the post:Jim's list of 'approved' saxophone brandsin the 'High School Sax' forum at this URL:I haven't played them myself, but response on them sounds pretty good, and if they play like Yanagisawas (which I think I remember reading) then they should be great, especially for soprano (I love my SC 992). Try out the R&C and, depending on your budget, I like to recommend the Yana pro curved sopranos.

A place for sharing information about clarinets, especially vintage models. Welcome to the Clarinet Pages - the kickoff page. A Source of Information for the Clarinet. The saxophone is a one-piece straight silver soprano with a copper wash on the inside of the bell, by A. Rampone, Milano with the A. Cazzani, Ditte Riunite circular logo, serial number 4xxx (haven't been able to determine the year it was built yet). No front high F, a “nail file” G#, and the rest of. Rampone matched flat and A clarinet set in original case - all serial numbers match on all parts - in good - Answered by a verified Musical Instrument Appraiser.

Either way, play test and bring a tuner!

I'm thinking of buying a used R1 jazz Bb tenor from someone I don't really know. I tried it and the sound and feel are great, but I need more information (especially the year it was made and purchased) before making a big investment like this. I tried sending an email (to info@ramponecazzani.it) about a week ago and I didn't get an answer yet. I also tried calling (+39 0323 826134) and sending a facebook message but this also didn't work out. How can I get information about the sax? Is there a serial number chart or updated contact info? About a week ago, the entire Zolla family ( owners of Rampone & Cazzani) was at the Frankfurter messe, engaged in the most important commercial event of the year with visitors from the entire world.

The fair closed Sunday and then they drove back to Quarna. Now they will be back home and after a little rest they will be able to process all the mail which arrived BECAUSE of the commercial contacts which they had at the fair. Sometime down the line, I suppose they will have time to answer you urgent query. The company is family run and there are less than 10 people altogether working there. The offices are run by two or three people. They are the only source of information about the R&C serial number.

I don’t know what, knowing the exact year of production, would add to have tried the saxophone and found it good. But I suppose that you must have your reasons. Some R1 Jazz don’t take kindly to the passing of time and despite the fact that they might have been played very little, still the metal might look less than sparkly. In fact this has been the case even with some new, never used ones in some of the many finishes in which they, these days, come. I have seen it personally. In that case the shop might ( but I couldn’t say) have purchased it as a “ second” for just a little less than normal. Anyway, the seller should be able to produce some title of purchase showing that it was indeed bought no long ago.

Even Rampone & Cazzanis have been know to have been laying in wait for a customer and the document would also tell you the exact price it was purchased for. Thank you for your answers! The serial number is 11841, so i guess it's possible it was manufactured in 2011. My main concern is the year it was purchased from R&C, as the guy selling it claims he bought it new a few months ago and barely used it (he imported it in order to sell). The horn does play well, but it doesn't look new and barely used. Real Fishing 3d Hack Ifunbox Windows. So while it's not an 'urgent query', I would like to get this information as it can affect the price he asks for the horn. My horn (240xx) & Guto's (242xx) both tie in with the manufacturing year of 2004.

Your 118xx appears to have been made in the year 1001.unlikely to say the least!:) Are you sure it's not marked 21843.which, by my understanding, would place it as the 843rd horn made in the year 2001. Even then, it seems unlikely that R&C would have the capacity to build 843 horns in one year. Some R1 Jazz don’t take kindly to the passing of time and despite the fact that they might have been played very little, still the metal might look less than sparkly. In fact this has been the case even with some new, never used ones in some of the many finishes in which they, these days, come.

The R&C horns in silver tarnish like any other silver sax because they are not coated with anything. So they don't look bright shiny and new even when they are.

This is true for the Duo Voci and I was kind of surprised to discover it. There's a tenor player here that I've known for years, Gorka Garay, who is one of the R&C artists on their website.

Back in the fall I was at Sax-On and he was already there at the counter where he horn lying. He used to play a 10M I think and so I could see it was a different sax but at first I didn't recognize it for what it was. That was because the silver was dull looking and not at all like the Duo Voci on display in the showroom area.

When he told me that he had just gotten it a couple of weeks earlier I found it curious because I would have thought that it would be much shinier than it was for being so new. Awesome sounding horn though, but if you are looking for a sax that retains it's shiny new look, don't get that type of finish. Hmm, ok, my (arrived today) Rampone & Cazzani FISM Deluxe tenor has a serial of 16014. I can tell you that there is no way this horn could have become so degraded over anything less than a substantial period. Green & pitted silver plate (chrome?) on a few keys and hinge tubes, a few red patches beginning to emerge where the lacquer is worn through, and lacquer mottled from (what appears to be) un-cleaned spittle.

I sent the serial to R&C asking if they could date this sax. R&C responded very quickly requesting detailed images which I hope to take and send tomorrow.

So.the theory that this was (possibly) the 14th horn made in 2016 can only be a myth me think. How contiguous are / were R&Cs serial numbering? Fabulous thanks - I'm getting somewhere. It is most definitely an FISM Deluxe, no high F#, no extra trill etc. It's such shame it has been subject to such neglect but I'll get it sorted at some point. This sax is the same as this one here. The only difference I can determine is the key guard cut-outs (of my sax) are a slightly different shape to the sax (URL) above.

In its current state I can play about 3 notes (C,B,A) and make ducks jealous from that point onwards, or downwards as the case may be. Spore Creature Creator Torrent Mac Os. The body ain't banged up, only slight curvature of one hinge tube and apart from appearance in great shape.

Oh yeah, broken octave mechanism (post) but I have the broken bit. This should (fingers crossed) come up fine. If it is called FISM ( Fabbrica Italiana Strumenti Musicali) this a designation that Rampone & Cazzani used in the ’70 certainly NOT 2016! Your horn is absolutely not a modern one but rather like the “ De Luxe' I sold to Jazz is all. Yes, but that sax was cosmetically quite original looking and had practically no degradation of the finish. I recall that we tried to find out the exact date of manufacture from Claudio but never got a response.

Then again my memory for details of stuff like that is not so great anymore so maybe that never happened except in my mind.
