Dear Calicchio Customers and Dealers
As announced earlier Calicchio has moved and will be manufacturing horns in the Marcinkiewicz Company with Marcinkiewicz employee's under my guidance. Ownership will remain with me and nothing will be changed other than we will spend more time on fit and finish. Joe Marcinkiewicz and I are old friends who share the same passion for building horns and I look forward to working with Joe, his people, and his son's to build and improve Calicchio and I hope to help Joe increase his production at the same time.
As we begin the new chapter of Calicchio, together we will work to improve upon the Calicchio line and will bring Calicchio to a new level of quality with the CNC and talented workers at the Company.
In the past I have worked to improve the playing and sound characteristics of the many models of Calicchio and have not been as concerned about the build and looks. At this time we will now concentrate on fit and finish. We will no longer rush a horn out the door and sacrifice the finish and function as has been done in the past. Together we will strive to improve the fit and finish to a new degree which will become the standard for Calicchio. We will also again start another search for someone that can do a good job of lacquer and will offer lacquer finish again as soon as we find the right person.
Unfortunately, these things will take more time and add to the cost, so we will be increasing prices by 15% on Bb trumpets. Flugles will remain the same for the time being.
All horns will be purchased through the Marcinkiewicz Company in order to simplify us working together.
New Policies: All Individual orders will require 1/2 deposit of the price up front and the balance upon shipping, no exceptions. We will not start your order until deposit is made.
We will work on orders as they come in and will not rush anything. If you are in hurry go buy one off the shelf or order something else from another manufacture. I fully expect to finish horns within 3 months from the order date or less.
Any horn returned or ordered and canceled will be subject to a charged a 15% restocking fee, no exceptions.
Pricing will be as follows:
Standards: Raw $2576.00 Silver $3036.00 Gold $3921.50
Red Brass: Raw $2576.00 Silver $3036.00 Gold $3921.50
Ultra: Raw $3225.00 Silver $3478.00 Gold $4301.00
Copper Solo: Raw $3509.00 Silver $3751.00 Gold $4598.00
Thank you,
John Duda
