The Keilwerth SX90R alto saxophone is a truly amazing horn. Handmade in Germany using old world craftsman styles, the SX90R is truly a handmade professional saxophone. The unique bore and key mechanisms are found exclusively on Keilwerth saxophones and offer the player a horn unlike any other. The bore of the SX90R gives alto players the largest sound & presence available on any alto sax. Many players find that the SX90R alto gives a sound more in line with a tenor sax, while still maintaining the control and characteristics unique to an alto sax.

This model is an SX90R design with the major change of the material used in the tube (neck, body, bow & bell) construction. Instead of brass, this model is made from solid nickel-silver. Nickel-silver is an alloy comprised of 60% copper, 20% nickel & 20% zinc (regular brass is 70% copper and 30% zinc). The name "nickel-silver" is due to the metal's appearance being lighter in color than nickel but not quite as light as silver.

The nickel-silver used on this design gives the horn a little brighter sound but also provides a more vibrant response. Many people find this horn to be more flexible for jazz, rock & pop style playing. This is the same material used on the popular "Shadow" model. However, this finish is much easier to maintain.

What does our Professional Setup do for you the customer?

No horn comes into our shop from the manufacturers in perfect adjustment. In fact, the longer that the horns have sat in a storage facility or on a shops shelves, the more out of adjustment they typically are. This is due to the felt and leather in the pads losing the compression that forms the "pad seat" causing leaks of air through the pads.

Our Professional Setup prior to shipping is done to ensure that you receive a sax that plays perfectly right out of the box. This way you get the superior performance of the sax without having to have it "setup" by some other technician. As a professional shop, one of the biggest requirements falls on the repair abilities of the shop. Ours is one of the best around!

We have some of the lowest prices in the country on instruments, no other shop can give you this price AND this setup.

Kessler & Sons Music are Authorized Keilwerth Dealers. We do completely inspect and setup our instruments prior to shipping to ensure that they are perfect.

If you have any questions, please call Dave Kessler Toll Free at 1-888-830-0474 Mon-Sat 9:30-6:00 Pacific Time.
