LUPIFARO
Lupifaro Saxophones
Lupifaro saxophones are born from the idea of bringing to a wider audience modern instruments suitable for all types of musicians: from students who need a reliable product able to follow their artistic growth while sounding like an instrument of higher category, up to professionals, who can finally find the sounds of some of the best saxophones in history in a modern instrument with impeccable mechanics, intonation and ergonomics.
Regardless of the level of the musician to whom the product is intended, all work is done with painstaking care and performed strictly by hand, without ever neglecting the beating of the slab and annealing that give life and soul to the instrument.
Thanks to the work of Luca Cardinali, who personally took care of the production until May 2019*, Phaselus SA has given birth in a few years to a line of products that can fearlessly compete with the largest and most established historical brands in the world of saxophones.
