saxello

Hi. Recently purchased and refurbished a King Saxello. Having a ball with it. By far my most classical sounding horn. Totally different from the SML straight soprano. One question, on the bottom, near the bell, there is a holder that looks like a lyre holder. I see a place for a screw, but...

Hi all - I recently acquired a gorgeous bare-brass King Saxello from SOTW member Kritavi, who I recommend whole-heartedly - he is one of the most knowledgeable and reliable traders on the interweb, and if you get a chance to deal with him do not hesitate. TOP TIP - STAND RECOMMENDATION FOR...

Has anyone ever come across the New Orleans make of saxello (actually a tip bell soprano) ? I am looking to buy a reasonably cheap saxello and was wondering about the build quality of these instruments. They are being sold on eBay, and according to the ad, they are made in Italy. If anyone has...

I have an opportunity to purchase one at a 'decent' price. I'm going military here, don't ask, don't tell. To the R & C saxello players here, what made you decide on this horn instead of a 'normal' straight or curved sop??

Hello all, First time on this site, and I know nothing about saxophones. I play guitar, piano, drums and trombone, and when my grandfather died last month, I inherited a bunch of music equipment. In this lot was a 1920s white king saxello. Its serial number or Pat. pending number is 71xxx...

Hi, I'm a relatively new player (6 years) and am moving onto playing in college this coming fall. Since I'm going onto college, I've been searching for months for information about a good soprano to replace my chinese-made one from eBay. I'm a longtime SotW lurker, but never needed to post...

I won an eBay action for this horn back in February of this year. And this thread will sum up my experiences so far. Shipment The horn was shipped and packaged very well. Lots of bubble wrap, corks to keep the keys in place and along with a CE Winds certificate of warranty for peace of mind. I...

Hi, This is my first post on SOW. Long time lurker, but nothing of value to say before. I got my new Rampone & Cazzani copper saxello near the end of April, so I've had over a month and a half now to get to know it. I think that it's a cool enough instrument that others might be interested in...

I purchased a silver SaxArt saxello from Ron Ashtar through e-bay. The sax came and the bottom lip of the bell was bent and the thing would not play. Even though thier e-bay listing said return the sax within three days in the event of damages, they are coming up with every reason why they don't...
