How do the older Borganis, pre 1975, compare with the more modern ones?

Well, to be honest, I haven't had the chance to play a newer model, but the Borgani Soprano that I have (made in 1964) is a very easy instrument to play, especially in the low range. She gives me a lot of bottom when I need it. I think I need to increase my reed strength, because I pinch sometimes going to the high D and above....
But besides that, a very lovely AND sturdy horn....

Sounds like you've got a nice horn. What strength reed are you currently playing on? |
