I treid this post in the Modern Horns section with no luck identifying this model. Hopefully there is a Borgani aficianado out there. 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 model including having a pearl (alto) front F rather than a teardrop (tenor). My research has yielded very little other than it is not a Jubillee model but I believe it is a post-Lovano production. It looks nearly identical in every way to a detailed photo of a Pearl Gold Tenor someone has posted on the web. It is possibly a Ponzol model but I have only heard about those. Photos on the Borgani site are too small to tell detail. The posts and keys are all gold lacquered 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.
