Title of Instrument: Tenor Sax - Keilwerth SX 90 R "Vintage" Price Paid / Price New: $6200 US Year Manufactured: Around 2005/6 Specs: # Body in "Vintage" finish, clear lacquered # Matt nickel plated keywork # Black pads # Black mother of pearl finger inlays # "Vintage" case # Bell diameter: 6.1” (155mm) # Weight: 8lbs (3.6kg) # Tone hole rings # Adjustable thumb rest # Adjustable palm keys # Extra F-arm with adjusting screw # G# pad cup lifting mechanism # Stainless steel screws # Mother of pearl key inlays without metal rim # Leather pads with metal resonators, waterproof # Hydraulically formed neck Sound: 5/5. This instrument is a HUGE improvement over my yamaha yts-82z, though its expected with the price. Instrument 5/5. It really is a stunning piece of metal. The keys are matte, and for some reason mine looks nothing like the website photos, it has a black bell with a gradient going to a dull brassy look towards the neck. Everyone i've pulled it out on has thought its an incredible looking sax, and are supremely jealous. But of course this isn't why i bought it. Playbility: 5/5 The keywork is incredibly smooth and easy to play, with loads of adjustable parts, including the palm keys. I find myself being much more comfortable with the lower and higher registers due to the larger bell, and the beautiful layout of the keys. Overall Value: Example 5/5. Although quite expensive, it's worth every single dollar. This sax outperforms anything i've ever tried before, including an old mark 6 i tried a while ago. I havn't owned it long enough to get the full tone benefit, but its sounding incredible after just a month.
