Rampone & Cazzani have been a family owned musical instrument company since 1816 and produced the first Italian
 saxophones around 100 years ago. They have a long tradition of producing high quality hand crafted saxophones so why aren't they better known? Well, they've been content to stay very small ensuring that their hand crafted techniques are not compromised. If they were distributed & promoted by International wholesale companies they would be well known but too expensive for most sax players! In order to keep prices down to a competitive level we buy direct from the factory, situated in the Italian village of Quarna Sotto. 
We think they're one of Italy's best kept secrets.

All the saxes have hand hammered bodies and 24 carat gold plating is the same price as most manufacturers charge for lacquer! The hand chiselled decoration is beautiful, unique artistry and a refreshing change from the familiar sax engraving. If you want your sax created with a little extra 'hands on' human involvement then check out Rampone & Cazzani.

These saxes have the biggest bore of any that we stock - even bigger than Keilwerth! More air = more power + less resistance.

Rampone will custom build a sax personally for you. Options include gold or black lacquer, bright or matt, gold or silver plating, with or without top F#, sopranos with high G. Delivery is usually approx. 12 weeks. Phone or email for a quotation.

Hi Jim, Jules and Phill,

Thank you very much to all of you and the others who have assisted and
advised me (including the staff at the London store) in looking for and my
eventual purchase of my baritone. I am very happy with it indeed, it is a
wonderful instrument to play and I just love everything about it.
The service was exceptional throughout, delivery was very quick and the
baritone was very well packed in the transportation box.

thank you all once again
Andrew
