Great!!!

I've received my Begali Signature no. 427 on Monday 18. It has started playing with a wonderful sound, just after some tests made with little adjustments of the big four handly screws. The contact made by the touch of the paddle, is accompanied in his movement by the magnet, making the manipulation more easy and precise. Thanks a lot Piero (I2RTF) for the great work, your seriousness and attention to the details in the construction of the paddle. I'm really glad to communicate my apprechiation for the Bruna's kindness, in answering my many e-mail with patience, speed and completeness. She also made pleasant buying the KEY.
I suggest you to try a BEGALI KEY.
73, Bruno (IS0GQX)

Perfecto

Time owned: 0 to 3 months

My newest addition arrived today.Just as my other Bengali products the packaging, communications and timeliness of delivery are all exceptional.
Yet as good as all those factors are, the most important aspects are how the key works, its feel and stability. Here again, the Bengali line shines.
I couldn't be happier, and encourage all to give this family and their products a try...they are truly worth your consideration.
If, I could offer one suggestion to Bengali team that would be send the key with a wired plug, it would be a nice touch

Extremely High Quality

I have the Begali Signature Edition Paddle for over a year now. I use it almost daily. I try the use each of my keys and paddle on a regular basis. I believe to best compliment that can be made about the paddle come from the the Hams copying my CW, "Arm Chair Copy!". I do not get this when I am using my other paddle or keys. It is very precise and stable. I agree with the other 67 reviews 100%. Thank you for producing such a wonderful paddle.

Exceptional Product

There is little more to say! The previous reviews sum it up nicely. The key is exceptional in terms of quality, looks, functionality and backed by fantastic Customer Service. Bruna was right on top of the ordering process, let me know when the key shipped and answered every question I had promptly. Begali has set the standard. You want the "KEY OF A LIFETIME"? Order a Begali.

"Senza Uguale"
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

"Senza Uguale" - Without equal!! Begali's quality control, performance of the product and value for dollar spent are indeed without equal - "Senza Uguale"! Bruna was excellent in staying in touch, answering questions, and notifying me of the shipment date.
In my 47 years of ham radio, I've used many keys, the latest being a Bencher BY2. My wife gave me the Signature Edition Begali key for a Christmas present. This is the last key (and wife) I plan to have! The packaging was excellent, the key arrived in great condition, and it was immediately placed in service. The adjustments available on the key are superb. It took only a little time to find just the right settings for contact spacing, and once I did, it was like an extension of my immediate thoughts to the key.
The Signature Edition is heavy and solid. It stays in place on the desk. It arrived with one black and one red set of plastic finger pieces, as well as (at my request of Bruna) one set of long blue and one set of short red finger pieces made of aluminum. I like the option of using the different sizes and materials until I find just the right ones that suit me.
Having read all the reviews of Begali keys - I can say that they match my experience with the product - Piero and Bruna are to be congratulated for superb customer service and a phenomenal product which is "Senza Uguale"!

What can I say, the Begali Signature is exquisite. Workmanship, detail long since disappeared in crafting world. Beautiful gold, engraving all make for a truly-work-of-art worthy of a place next to any piece of art from the Cubism period. And the really best part is the key works as well as it looks. Highly recommended!

Exceptional - Should be in a Jewellers Shop
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

I purchased the "Signature" gold plated with gold contacts after reading the many reviews by others.I'll be honest, I've rarely touched a key since being licensed back in 1992, having purchased various other inferior keyers and found them to be cumbersome and unreliable which just turned me off operating CW. With this key I now have absolutely no excuse not to be back on track, as this is surely one of the finest keys made today,light to operate and never goes out of adjustment, looking stunning in the shack. Presently my CW skills barely do this key justice, as it looks as if it should be sitting in a jewellers shop, but now with possibly the best key made today I'm determined to make good of it. Oh tnx to my girlfreind who bought it for my birthday and persuded me to get off my ar*e! - it's now down to me!

Beautiful and Solid

I have had a Begali Simplex for several years and enjoyed it very much. I also have used many other paddles. for my 50th year in ham radio, I thought I would also get a Signature. Everything said about it is true. My wife even likes it! I noticed that the spacing can be set to 1/8 turn out from a short and it will not only stay in place but send with almost any magnet setting. None of my other paddles will do this. At that spacing their settings all drift. Quite a key. The selection of finger pieces is great. I can set the paddle up just the way I like. I am very pleased and shouldn't have waited so long to get one.

The Best
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months

My Signature Edition Serial nunber 228 arrived yesterday.
All the superlatives have been said already in previous reviews... It is a beautifully crafted key, which makes sending CW a very pleasurable experience. It is certainly the best key that I have ever used...and I've used a few..
I already had a foretaste of Pietro's artistry, and Bruna's administrative excellence, when I bought my Begali Traveller some time ago. So I didn't NEED a new paddle, but I WANTED one. I suppose paddles of this standard are a bit like sports cars..none of us NEED a Maserati, but we all WANT one.. Right??
