Opinion on Rampone & Cazzani Tenors Hey everyone, I am a junior in Highschool and i'm currently playing the Cannonball Raven (blacknickel) with a Berg Larsen Bronze mpc (105/3M). I'm relatively happy with the sound I produce, But recently i have been feeling the limitations of my instrument. I'm looking for a sound that's relatively dark, but very warm, resonant, and big. I stumbled accross the Rampone & Cazzani R1 Jazz Vintage Heavy 24k Gold-Plated Tenor and it may be what i'm looking for. Since i can't locate any local stores that have one, I'd like a few opinions on it while i continue my quest to find and play one.

Rampone & Cazzani MOD 2002 Flute Rampone & Cazzani 'MOD 2002' Serial # 05353; Italy; 1980(?); plated body and mechanism, drawn tone holes; sl 596mm; 477g;.014'h.020'b The Rampone family flourished as instrument makers in Milano from the 1850's and, in 1879, became the first Italian maker of Boehm flutes. In 1912 Egidio Rampone went into partnership with Battista Cazzani, soon marrying his daughter. Following Cazzani's death in 1920, the firms merged into 'Ditte riunite A. (New Langwill Index) If you have looked through other items on this website, you will have noted my fascination not only with the elegant perfection of the flutemaker's art, but also with the uncommon variation and, in this case, with the stylistically skewed. This flute is about as unlike the earlier flute listed in these pages, which takes a standard flute and bolts on as many gimcracks and gewgaws as possible. This fairly recent creation takes the standard features common to any student flute, but applies them with a healthy dose of Italian flamboyance and vigor. The body is heavy plated tube stock with drawn toneholes, but with a brushed finish rather like the aluminum flutes.

In contrast, headjoint and keywork have a brilliant chrome shine that would warm the cockles of one who collects 1950's Detroit automobiles. Function defines form throughout. Pad cups are nearly flat, ever-so-slightly concave mirrors. Other touch arms carry the theme by being cut from flat metal stock, often with unexpectedly angular shapes, then formed to fit with simple curves. The posts also echo the cylindrical theme of the tube and pad cups, and dapped key arms simply crimp around the rods to create kickers.

Even the normally decorative ferrules are made to look utilitarian with roughly filed grooves that would not be out of place on a shop tool or a no-slip stair tread. In Sicily back in the early 1980's, my friend Giuseppe Buscema very much wanted the ultra modern, highly stylized flute being offered by Rampone & Cazzani, but he was not in a position to buy one. Nearly 20 years later he realized he still wanted one -- but they were no longer being made! Giuseppe contacted Claudio Zolla, who together with his father Roberto owns R&C, and was told they had one of these flutes in the shop -- it had come home after being on display for some time at the Quarna Sotto musical instrument museum. In addition, they inventoried parts on hand and decided they had enough to fabricate one more nearly identical instrument. Giuseppe had them build the flute and bought them both, keeping the new one and passing this remarkably playable display specimen on to me. It seems that I am not the only one attracted to shiny objects!
