- Saxophone repairman Matt Stohrer of www.StohrerMusic.com goes maverick in this latest installment of his Repairman's Overview series by talking about a modern handmade Italian saxophone made by Borgani- a saxophone that is still being made, and is available to buy new today.

Had one-pearl silver-Great sound, intonation, all the good stuff-but the pivot screws and other
mechanical issues ..... my repair guys were not glad to see me coming in all the time. I loved
the sound of it so much. But then i found that sometimes the sound was not right for the setting I played in, and so i have moved on to several other horns. Right now a Yanagisawa
Bronze TW20 without lacquer. My repair guys love it and I find it extremely flexible æsthetically. But the Borgani is a horn everybody should experience. The sopranos have a sound that is such pure beauty- Wow; i stop now ( LOL)
Nice looking sax. Thanks for posting. I find the variety fascinating.
A terrific array of infornmation - thanks
thanks Matt, I own one and I love it to bits. Total player's horn, and I totally support what you say about the sound. But just took to get a full service and my repair guy did find a number of odd things on the rebuild. Interesting to see this.
Hi Mat. I have a Jedson alto made by Rampone and Cazzani .
Interesting review Matt, I also like the sound of Borgani saxes. I think you should send a link with this review to Borgani, they can learn from the weaker mechanical points you mentioned! ;-)
Hi Matt, a while back you posted a video of not oiling rods and the results.... Would you possibly be able to provide a video on how to take out rods (specifically stuck rods). And this may seem too specific but would you show how to on a rod holding together the F,E,D keys without stripping the thread of the head of a screw. And if stuck what to do to get a rod to make the saxophone playable. Thank you for your time!
Spring-loaded receivers are a dumb stroke of genius. I found out the hard way when I bought a Super-80 tenor some 30 years ago. Spring-loaded receivers make the much dreaded vertical play/give in saxophonne keys a problem from day one of your purchase. Sometimes it is better to leave the tried&true well-enough alone.
Would you consider posting a video explaining the anatomy of a mouthpiece?
Hi Matt,
Could you explain with more details this poiny of fixing the shoulder of hinge rods and receiver?
Ty for everything.

it's number is 3116. I played in in the 1970s. it needs to be re-padded. Is it worth doing or should I trash it?
Great overview. Have you had any experience with 1960's Borganis? Are they less quality than the modern ones?
hi joe i heard from a retailer these were not the best ofhorns very fragile what do you think
Hi Matt, off topic question. Noticed your wedding band. Is that solid brass? Could you share where you got it. Thanks...
Funny you'd notice! I turned it on my lathe.
which Borgani Modell is this one? R1 or what?
6:22 "i made a reamer but actually i wore it out". cue beavis and butthead laughing.
7 min in, no Borgani for me.Why not simply buy a Conn 10M
Variability is a problem and for the cost of owning one they just aren’t worth it.
All saxophones cost the player money to own. As a player variability from one sax to the next is of zero concern if the Borgani you own plays great. I played a Jubilee alto, the model before the newest, and it had a huge, beautiful sound. I’d love one and I have a top of the line Yanagisawa.
@@marike1100 we’re not talking about a small variation. Plus these are priced in an extremely high range with the likes of great vintage horns and the elite Yanagisawa lineup. With a Yanagisawa your getting every penny’s worth in craftsmanship and value while a borgani let’s face it has major issues in comparison.
