Durability of Borgani

[bari_saxxy]

I'm curious about the durability of Borgani saxes. Many people I've talked to said that the metal quality was generally poor on all Italian horns. I don't know if this is an old generalization based on cheap older student models or what. Is anyone out there able to comment on this? How heavy are Borganis?

Heavy. Hand-hammered (don't try that with your Yamaha). Well made and solid. I hit golf balls with mine.
