I’ve recently acquired an Excelsior AC Van Damme model that has Cagnoni reeds in it. I have seen several other Excelsiors, AC line and otherwise, that also have Cagnoni reeds in them from seemingly similar vintages as my instrument (late 1980s/90s Cemex/pre Pigini).
Curiosity killed the cat - just wondering if anyone out there has any info as to when Excelsior started using Cagnoni reeds in their instruments as opposed to the “in house” reeds found in the earlier models of Excelsiors, some of which I own,
since there clearly seems to be a correlation of Excelsiors w/Cagnoni reeds of a certain era.
Thanks!
