I play a Silver Pearl #18xxxJ and a J Vintage Soprano 0xxxJ I'm very happy, regarding the sop, I'm having intonation problems on the sop F3 but I'm living with it, but if I go to Italy, someday in the future, I'll bring the sop with me.. It's good to hear, that Borganis is continuing there work, like they used to do, it has been queit around these horns for some time.
I'm playing my tenor with a Ted Klum handcrafted solid silver 7, a TK Precision 7* and a Pomarico Ebony 7, from brighter to darker. And the soprano with Raffael Navarro maestra 6* and a Pomarico Ebony7, and the same
I had a tenor Selmer Ref 54 and a sop series 3. I'm very pleased with the swap and I'm not looking for another sound. Sometimes it's difficult being in a sax section. I'm diffenitly and the biggest and loudest sound, but fortunatly the Selmer series 2 bari Has a good projection too
I just bought an alto, and if the Borgani Vintage alto, I saw, hadn't been too expensive, I would have went for a Borgani, I did try a Selmer ref 54 and diffrent top level Yamahas, but the big bore of the Conn, wun me over, as seen in my signiture. I understand the comparison with Borgani, but the Conn is another animal, big bore, kind of rough, bold, and loud, but very well defined, but not so rich and subtle as a Borgani. I just wanted an alto to play around with, I consider myself a tenor player, but I might get a Borg one day..
