Keilwerth SX90R Vintage - Alto Sax

Product Information

Keilwerth SX90R Vintage Alto Saxophone - Professional

Julius Keilwerth presents the new SX 90 R Vintage alto saxophone. These special models from the SX 90 R Series fascinate by their unique Vintage optical appearance. The surface of the metal is left in its original state. In combination with the matt nickel plated keywork, the black pads and the black mother of pearl finger inlays, each instrument is uniquely special in its own way - absolutely one of a kind.

The SX90R range from Keilwerth utilises tonehole rings that are soldered onto the standard toneholes. This is reminiscent of the old saxes from the USA like Conn and Buescher who also used the rolled tonehole design to create a big warm, full tone. The rolled toneholes also add life span to your pads and can be replaced if necessary in the future.

The Keilwerths have quite an individual layout that can at first feel different from your current sax but soon becomes natural under the fingers. These are very free blowing saxes and the sound is yours to mould. Used by many great players including David Liebman and Ernie Watts (for our Ernie Watts interviews please see our Multimedia Page or YouTube).
