Rampone & Cazzani have been making wind instruments in the hills above Lago D'Orta for a long time but only recently have been re-discovered because of their ability to imitate the coveted sound of the Vintage Saxophones of the past.

Their latest development is the Solista Alto Saxophone, using the best characteristics of their R1 Saxophones but with a completely redesigned neck. The original aim was to free the Classical Saxophonist in his/her search for optimal resistance level combined with a complex and majestic color palette.
 
But the Rampone & Cazzani Solista Alto Sax has also been discovered by Jazz Players for the same reasons - greater freedom in blowing combined with a glorious spectrum of sonic color.

The Rampone & Cazzani Solista Alto Sax - an instrument which has to be experienced to be believed !
