You should have come over on Oct 20th and heard the Rosso Fiorentino Volterra Calvin. The little brother Fiesole went home with someone and the Volterra sold a week later. I've still got the Siena on demo.
I know how much you like older Sonus Faber and the Rosso Fiorentino gear has been compared favorably, but I much prefer the RF sound. RF is not a 'small' company, but they haven't saturated the US market yet.
