Saxophones Very Cheap Rampone & Cazzani. Thread starter Jamesmac; Start date Apr 15, 2014; J. Jamesmac Well-Known Member. This is a proper Rampone e Cazzani. Serial numbers can be used to identify supposedly “better” instruments. It is sometimes (possible erroneously) supposed that five digit MKVIs are the best. Or you want to play a horn with a number that is close to your idol’s saxophone.

Selmer SBA Alto What Can Serial Numbers Tell Me? The main thing you learn from serial numbers is the age of the instrument of course. Although the dates in these charts are reasonably accurate, there may be some discrepancies for various reasons. Here are a few things to bear in mind: • Sometimes a company may hold back a batch of instruments and then release them a couple of years later. • The production of old and new models can overlap, or in some cases features of a new model appear on the later batch of the previous model.

There’s no neckstrap hook, but a place on the back where it looks like one may have been at one point but became unsoldered and come (or taken) off. There are some small dings in the body, but nothing major. Repairing that is beyond my humble abilities, so I’ve left them. The things I needed to do to overhaul the instrument were: • Clean body and keys • Replace all pads • Replace mouthpiece cork • Replace various other bumper corks and felts • Fix bent key and bent rod • Level some toneholes • Replace rollers • Get a case. Still stripped down I first took off all the keys, which was a bit of a struggle as the whole upper stack and top side key is all attached to a single long rod in a somewhat complex overlapping configuration, so I had to pay careful attention to the order of how the keys went together.

Why do people sometimes mask the last three digits of a serial number? When advertising an instrument for sale, you will often see the serial number referred to as 36xxxx. It is rumoured that there is a scam, by which somebody who acquires your serial number can then claim the instrument is theirs. This may just be paranoia as I have never heard of this happening, nor can I understand how it could happen. Ideally you should have a record of the serial number with your sales receipt and won your insurance details. A serial number can of course be used to identify a stolen instrument. Lead singer of incubus now. If a seller does hide part of the number you may wonder if they are trying to hide the fact that it is stolen.

Back in the fall I was at Sax-On and he was already there at the counter where he horn lying. He used to play a 10M I think and so I could see it was a different sax but at first I didn't recognize it for what it was. That was because the silver was dull looking and not at all like the Duo Voci on display in the showroom area. When he told me that he had just gotten it a couple of weeks earlier I found it curious because I would have thought that it would be much shinier than it was for being so new.

You haven't bid on this lot yet. You can no longer place any bids on this lot. This lot will be open for bidding soon. It’s not over yet! 90 seconds have been added to the clock.

I can tell you that there is no way this horn could have become so degraded over anything less than a substantial period. Green & pitted silver plate (chrome?) on a few keys and hinge tubes, a few red patches beginning to emerge where the lacquer is worn through, and lacquer mottled from (what appears to be) un-cleaned spittle. I sent the serial to R&C asking if they could date this sax. R&C responded very quickly requesting detailed images which I hope to take and send tomorrow. So.the theory that this was (possibly) the 14th horn made in 2016 can only be a myth me think. How contiguous are / were R&Cs serial numbering?

A descendant, Agostino Rampone, in the second half of the 1800, was flutist at “La Scala” in Milan; technical and innovator, he perfected the Bohem system on the flute and he met Adolph Sax and built for him some early prototypes to study the mechanics of the saxophone keys. In the early 1900 a Rampone descendant and a lady Cazzani, daughter of a Milanese manufacturer of brass musical instruments, gave birth to the 'Rampone & Cazzani'. In half of the 1900 the company went bankrupt and was taken over by the current owners.
