Hi

Yes, I have and played a Borgani like this. I think this prob came out a few years before the Ponzol and the Jubilee.
Note the use Conn like lock nuts at the end of the rods.

I have no idea why this is being ref to as a Jubilee stencil.

ManEast,
What was your impression of the horn?

Hi Runzoff

The one that I played was a Tenor...it did have a different badge to this Alto.
(This Alto has the older round logo.) The Tenor had the current shape (rectangle logo)
It played very much like a Jubilee.

Now this is only me talking for myself...ok. but I am not mad about the Borgani alto. The borg Tenor , for me, is the best tenor sax made in over 38 years. I love it !

If you like the Jubilee Alto then it may be Pos that you would like this...but I would not bank on it.

Are you too far away from it ??

ManEast,
I've never played one. I appreciate your opinion!
Thanks, Nora

The serial is in the 18000, my tenor is a 19000 and it has the newer logo although it is not a Jubilee, keywork is very similar (if not identical) to this alto.

Should be a decent alto and it looks perfect, but at that price I would find it too much of a gamble. From a purely monetary point of view, unless it's a Jubilee you would struggle to move it on if you didn't like it.

I do agree: why say it's a "Jubilee stencil"?

This one does not have the square "B" logo as shown in your brochures, so it is earlier as already stated.

Sorry but your wrong.the bell logo and sax is identical to the ebay horn.yes theres the modern square borg logo on the brochure but the horns are there older pro horns.

I still think they will be cracking horns.The ebay silver 1 looks a stunner.
