Their saxophones are famous for producing a very luscious and spread sound with their flagship models, particularly the PMXA 67R, but the Grand Dreams takes you in a much more contemporary direction. The tone is very obviously focused and ripe, to me a little reminiscent of the Reference 54 alto actually! It carries a weight and depth that you would always associate with P Mauriat, but it is just noticeably more pointed on the top part of the sound; I really like this combo, especially when playing in pop styles! I also love the feel of the ergonomics – I would personally go for a lighter key action, but this is always something that can be customized.

For me, it has a medium resistance, typical of Selmer saxes in general – this sax will be heavily compared with YAS62 and AW01 as it’s in the same price bracket, and having played a few phrases on all three back to back you really notice that the two Japanese models have a lot more ‘pop’ and ‘ripeness’ to the sound, generally their sound is very immediate. The Axos has a little more resistance, and as a result that iconic ‘Selmer sound’ comes out – having compared it to both Series II and III you can hear the difference, although to me it’s much closer to a Series II, but perhaps without the same drive and absolute fullness, however, it’s very close. My immediate reaction was that I felt like I was playing on a Selmer Paris saxophone, but for only two thirds the price, which is really impressive!

The key action is very responsive, and the new design on the right pinky keys makes it particularly easy to glide across the low Eb and C. The Bronze body gives the saxophone a clear and warm tone, with a slight smoky edge to it that's especially noticeable when holding back dynamically. The ribbed construction adds slightly more mass to the sound when compared with the AWO2, something that certainly appeals to me.

The design of the body tube and construction gives the sax a really uniquely big, full tone; for a room filling sound and great dynamic range these saxes delivers superbly. The ergonomics of Keilwerth horns are good too- somewhat different from the bulk of modern saxes but very satisfying to play on (the adjustable left hand palm key system is a stroke of genius)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Beauty of Silver Plating \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSilver plating changes color over time, responding to different conditions and gradually developing a beautiful patina.

For me, it had a warm sound that wasn't stuffy in the low notes and was still quite free blowing with a soft level of resistance. It also played evenly and in tune throughout the whole range.

For this reason we have decided to stock more and list our Rampone saxes as individuals. It is not a case of some being better than others (they are all good!), just different. Each strike of the craftsman's hammer minutely changes the instrument's response so no two saxes are exactly the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest materials are used - red brass, bronze, copper, nickel silver and sterling silver. No lacquer is used allowing the instruments to resonate to their full potential. Brass instruments are plated with thick old fashioned 24ct gold or silver plating. Bells are hand beaten, the unique etched decoration is hand chiselled, an unrivalled choice of custom options........add to all this a large helping of pride \u0026amp; passion and you can see why more and more players are falling in love with Rampone \u0026amp; Cazzani saxophones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid Silver Bell; Bronze Neck, Body \u0026amp; Bow; Brass Neck \u0026amp; Keys\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlacquered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eKey Touches:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olive wood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eNeck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rampone R1 Jazz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eEngraving:\u003c\/strong\u003e Special \"Two Voices\" hand chiselled bell decoration\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rampone deluxe shaped case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resin mouthpiece or Bari Esprit mouthpiece included’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• \u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Free Professional Set Up \u0026amp; Free Check over within a Year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e• Recommended for: Serious sax players looking for something a little more individual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany modern saxes produce a pure sound that can be a little 'one dimensional'.
