Has anyone here ever played a Borgani sax? If so, do you think it's worth $5000 ?

I haven't played one, and I think most people haven't. But honestly, how can a saxophone be worth $5000?? The Conn 6M, which is widely accepted as one of the greatest horns EVER made, is only worth about $1800-2200.

No, we just share many of the same opinions, such as
1) we don't like selmer
2) or classical music
3) we love vintage horns and mp's

Well at least we all have one thing in common; I really don't care for classical stuff that much!

You need to try a Borgani, they are quality saxes and worth the money.
Think of the quality and individuality on them.

Best to try though.

If someone gave me $6000 and told me to buy a sax with it, I would probably go with the borgani, no question (or maybe about six 6Ms, Laughing

) . I checked out their website and they look like some really killer horns.

They must be very high quality. They are hand-made and Borgani only makes about 130 of them per year.

IMHO, Borgani saxes are the best money can buy. They are carefully hand-crafted, and are made out of the best materials available. I would highly recommend anyone who has the money to buy one, as they are well worth the money.

IMHO... Overpriced. Way. How can they be that much better than a good Selmer... or a 6M? Hmmm?? Heck.. they even make some of the Selmers look cheap! If given 6000 bucks... I'd go vintage shopping, or buy a few Yamahas.

In my book, it doesn't matter if it's "best". What matters is if it's that much better to make up for the price. If it is, then I wanna play of those horns. lol
