I recently purchased the following off ebay and am very happy with its sound. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=16232&item=3711664 362. It appears very similar to the newest models with the exception of having a pearl front F rather than a teardrop. My research has yielded very little other than it is not a Jubillee model but I believe it is a post-Lovano production. Possibly a Ponzol model but I have only heard about those. The posts and keys are all gold l;acquered and the finish reminds me of a matte Series III I used to play. Seriall number is 19199 with a matching 199 on the neck and several 99s on the posts, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can also be reached at fjcorapi@aol.com. Thanks.

I just found that the newer Borgani's still have the high F pearl key on their alto but seem to have the teardrop on their tenors.

Frank,
I am glad you're still happy with the Alto. It does have a nice sound and feel.
