He doesn't have to remove it, it was an accident. Krivati, please send me a PM with info about the Borgani alto, including price, and if you have pics please send them. Thanks, David

My point exactly... The only way I'll ever get one is if it's given to me.

I have been buying and selling horns since just after high school which was was back in the 1970's. The two Borganis came from pro players who were each trying to fund the purchase of Mark VI tenors. The Borgani alto would be a keeper if I were not married to my Chu alto and Selmer backup. The soprano is too heavy for my arms after awhile and I don't like it with a strap, huge sound, great action, excellent intonation but NOT a good choice for a small person IMHO, my True-tone I have had for 30 years weighs a lot less..

I'm going up to Manhattan soon so if I have some extra time I think I may swing by Roberto's woodwinds and see the Borgani's. Maybe if I feel competent enough I'll play one and hope it won't break (I have the worst luck in the world). Just to see if it's actually worth the money. I still love my selmer though :D
