Thank you for viewing. Used item. Pistons and slides function well. The inside of the instrument has been cleaned, basic operation has been confirmed, and a simple play test has been performed, so you can enjoy playing it immediately. This is a rare, unique piece made by hand by artisans in a long-established Italian workshop over 100 years ago. ■ About Rampone & Cazzani (ChatGPT) Rampone & Cazzani is a long-established brass and woodwind instrument maker founded in 1875, with a workshop in Quarna Sotto, Italy (they still produce high-end saxophones today). It is a traditional workshop where everything is finished by hand by artisans, and its appeal lies in its soft, rich sound and the deep tone unique to vintage instruments. Because they are handmade, and many models have different characteristics and finishes, the number of instruments produced is not large, which makes them popular among collectors and enthusiasts, and vintage instruments are also collector's items. Individual instruments made before 1980 often have faint model names and logos, with small, hand-engraved fonts, modestly placed on the bell. ■ Condition Pistons and slides are not stuck, and all parts function well. Missing parts unknown. There are no noticeable dents or bends in the bell. There are signs of use such as minor scratches and dirt. There is also some lacquer peeling. Please make your judgment based on the photos. ■ Maintenance Details ・Cleaning the inside of the instrument with citric acid water → Cleaning the inside of the instrument with baking soda water ・Simple brush cleaning of the inside of the instrument with neutral detergent ・Disassembly of moving parts, cleaning with neutral detergent ・Piston valve operation check ・Oil application to the piston section ・Slide operation check ・Slide grease application ・Sound production and scale play test confirmation ※However, all of the above are not at a professional level, so if you require strictness, please refrain from purchasing or consider it on the premise of maintenance. ■ Accessories ・Mouthpiece (BUESCHER 15) ・Hard case (rust, scratches, and dirt are present.) 【Notes】 Due to the nature of used items, there are parts that we cannot grasp, such as the degree of aging and repair history.
