Product Overview and Specifications
Keilwerth SX90 Tenor Saxophone

Description
Keilwerth SX 90 Alto saxophones are professional instruments for every music style. The SX 90 is a focused, bright horn that can cut through the biggest big band or blend in seamlessly in small ensembles.

Choose The Best
The perfect marriage of the vintage saxophone sounds of the 1920's and 1930's with the craftsmanship and technology of the new Millenium, there is no finer saxophone . . . period.

Better Tone Holes = Better Sound
The SX90 features a number of new innovations. Tone hole edge rings braced onto the standard tone holes extend the life of the pad. This wider seat gives greater security against leaks and provides a much quieter key action that has a softer feel and greater emission of sound.

New F Key Bridge
The new F key bridge with adjusting screw gives greater security against leaks in all of the keys of the right hand.

QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY
All Keilwerth saxophones are play tested by Keilwerth artist Mike Smith. Once the excellence of each instrument is assured, it is fitted with reusable clamps to ensure proper pad seating and mechanical stability.

This horn has a huge, gutsy sound that breaks through if you want it to. A modern throwback to the 30's and 40's. Throw an open jazz metal mouthpiece (8 or 9) on this thing with a medium to high baffle and start ripping! You can grab all kinds of overtones with the right mouthpiece and reed combo. Throw a hard or fibre reed on it and the altissimo comes out easily. Some reviewers say that it is a little different. That may be the case to some, but it seemed more manageable to me than Selmer-styled horns. It works well with my larger hands. It only took about 10 minutes to adjust. It has a solid feel, with precise fingering and tuning and even volume throughout the entire register. Free-blowing, not restricted. Want a soft, sultry sound? Use a less aggressive plastic mouthpiece and the sub-tones ooze out. I should have purchased one long ago. My Martin has been relegated to a backup horn. I never thought that would happen. Great Case.

I have the black nickle plated SX90R tenor and it is amazing! I can project across a whole hall or simply play a mellow ballad in a small room. Either way, it sounds fantastic and I must buy the soprano version.
