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.
