Sax sales, rental and repair

Saxophones sales

Marchi Fiati is a reference point for saxophones in Modena.

In addition to the sale of saxophones, the Company offers instrument customising, intervening on mechanical and acoustic factors; depending on the kind of music to be performed, the instrument will require different set-ups. For the classical genre for instance, one can keep smaller key openings, in order to facilitate technique, while for genres such as jazz or rock, the openings cannot be too small as they have to be adapted to the mouthpieces which are generally more open and therefore require more venting.

Clearly, the whole picture must always be balanced according to the needs of the musician who must choose the best combination of sound emission and technical agility, remaining within the parameters defined for each genre .To learn more about saxophones in Modena do not hesitate to contact us.
