I just recently bought a Marigaux altuglas....not noir. Mine is the clear. I tried three coveys, two Howarth XL's (one coco bola and the other granadilla), 2 Marigaux 901 in wood, several loree's, three bulgheroni, and others including Yamaha.
The Marigaux are WONDERFUL instruments that don't have nearly the "small issues" that Loree currently have. My second choice were the Bulgheroni opera and MUSA (coco bola horn....wonderful!) and third the Yamaha, although the Yamaha didn't quite have the personality. Each one if the three played exactly the same....though with a velvety buttery low register.
I love the Marigaux altuglas more each day! I would be happy to answer any questions. If you can get your hands on a Hiniker...they are amazing and probably the only thing that would have beat out my Marigaux. By the way I am a 20+ year loree player and I won't be going back now that I have played Marigaux.
