Well here's another nice old horn leaving the workbench and being offered up for sale to the world.
This one is made by an Italian company, Orsi.
I have no idea what model this is, or really how old it is as there isn't much info out there on these. My guess would be it was made in the 60's and was designed as a student/intermediate horn.
Its well built! Perhaps the keywork is a little heavy, some would call this sturdy others would say sturdy! The tone is nice, I really like the way this one sounds.
By the way I'm thinking the bore of this instrument is slightly narrower than many other altos.....I always check the neck/socket for leaking and in this case my neck checking tool wouldn't fit in the body of the horn! This is the first time this has happened.
I think someone will happy to have this horn, it plays sweetly, nice and dark, and has a nice engraving to boot!
