The link to sax.co.uk in the ebay listing seems to not work.

Yes, it doesn't seem to work, don't know why. It works if you copy it and paste it into the URL panel.

I bought MMM's bari last year. That cost me a lot of brownie points at home... I was so close to going for Milandro's sop, but fortunately someone bought it just as I was giving in to temptation.

 

[Jeanette]

Milandro's or Il Padrino's?;}

You are just going to have to earn more brownie points.

Yea, someone has already pointed out my unfortunate misspelling of "Cazzani" - I've amended it now.

Regards, Dave.

Just looked at the ebay pics, whats that on the picture with the bell engraving? looks like blood??

If you look at the pics on the Thomann website (http://www.thomann.de/gb/ramponecazzani_2008_tv_brs_two_voices.htm) you'll see the same mark on the bell

Only a couple of hours left on ebay!!

Regards, Dave.

Also, on the sax.co.uk website (http://www.sax.co.uk/acatalog/Rampone---Cazzani-R1-Jazz--Two-Voices--Tenor---Solid-Silver-Bronze-226141795.html) if you use the zoom tool you'll see that same mark. I'd be interested to know the technical reason for this mark?? Anybody?

Regards, Dave.

PS: the only ebay interest was from abroad.

There has to be someone who wants this and can pay what it's worth. They would have got a hell of a bargain at 3500.

Wonder if you can get sax.co to sell it on commission?

I think Woodwind Exchange sell on commission too.

I wonder if Pete's horn has the same acid flux bleed-through issues on the silver bell ??
(puts me right off.....)

It looks to me like a welding line, rather than bleeding.

I'm not sure how the solid silver is joined ? solder ? braze? anyone know??

 

[Sunray]

I have a Yanagisawa T9932J [Solid Silver neck and bell] ...

There is no sign of any join or flaw on either, although I am sure there is one ...

In my eyes - the picture of your bell shows a distinct flaw, which should not be there ...

Its likely it occurred during the manufacture process and in my view should not have been introduced to the retail outlet in that condition unless it was discounted ...

But hey ...

That's just my opinion ...

AFAIK should be silver soldered, but I don't know the actual R&C procedure. And the English terminology.

The picture on the Thomann website shows the same. It really seems like a "normal" thing.
If I had the money, it would not put me off. I had a crash on R&C horns, a couple of years ago, and their rough look is wonderful. Completely different from Yanagisawa aim to perfection. After all they are Italian. Perfection seldom belongs there.

Yes, both the Thomann and the Sax.co.uk websites show the same mark. It would be interesting to hear if Pete's has the same.
