(I really liked the tone with a Medium Chamber mouthpiece best - see: similar to Yamaha 5C or Meyers, as an example.) This is not ideal for quiet chamber work. SOUND: Powerful, presence, a little "bark", crisp. It is a little lighter-grade, (light, and a little flimsy) but overall it's in excellent condition. This #64k is later in the factory run.ĬASE: Original Grassi Hard case. These were "Made in Italy" and do have a respectful following - as long as you are working with the professional model. Not many people have ever played a Grassi, even more so, there is not a ton of information on these. She's not perfect, but she is very very pretty. There may be a few small pings on it too the scratch to mention is by the pants guard on the tube. There were ding dings/one dent to mention on the lower, front bow-*I can take this dent out It will clean up nicely. There are other great features also: Grassi's elaborate tube rings, bell engraving, F#-arm adjustment screws. "Professional 2000" engraved under the serial #, elongated C/Eb key touches (added modern comfort). It reminds me of Keilwerth bark, but with slightly less spread in the harmonics. A superb baritone that will blow the doors down! This Grassi has a tone that blows us away for its "crispness" & "bark".
