Since 1925, Keilwerth has concerned itself with creating saxophones that allow the musician to shape his own sound and style. With this in mind, Keilwerth took the technical advantages and improvements of the
SX 90, and added some extra features to truly make the musician‘s instrument his own. The result was the SX 90 R (the R standing for tone hole rings), a saxophone reminiscent of the old Conn and Buescher saxophones of the 1940s.

Unique and inspired by the spirit of the times:
The new "Vintage" line by Julius Keilwerth

Julius Keilwerth presents the new SX 90 R "Vintage" alto and tenor saxophones. 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 isntrument is uniquely special in its own way - absolutely one of a kind.

"Vintage": The special saxophone model for individualists and those who are looking for something extraordinary.

The most striking feature of this saxophone is its tone holes. The SX 90 R uses tone hole rings which are soldered on to the standard drawn tone holes. The tone hole rings give the pads a longer life, and the rings themselves are easier to replace if necessary, because they are a piece separate from the tone hole. The production of darker, more immediate, less focused sound is an added benefit of the tone hole rings, which allow the musicians to form their own individual voice.

For the first time the saxophone manufacturer Julius Keilwerth presents saxophones with a body made from nickel silver. Individually produced to the highest specifications to enhance the positive benefits of this material:

• Nickel silver adapts to and conducts changing frequencies faster than other material
• Nickel silver guarantees an immediate response
• Nickel silver gives a well centred and extremely powerful sound

Another important advantage is the reduced weight and the high stability.

The Keilwerth SX90R tenor saxophones are high precision, individually made instruments, creating a distinctive sound and style. The outstanding feature of these saxophones is the tone holes. The rings of the SX90R saxophone are soldered onto the edge of the standardised drawn tone holes. They increase the lifetime of the pads, which can be easily exchanged if necessary.

The saxophone manufacturer Julius Keilwerth presents the new SX 90 R "Shadow" model saxophone. With a black nickel plated body made from nickel silver, silver plated keys, and sophisticated engravings on body and bow this
saxophone not only has an extraordinary appearance, it also features a new, ergonomically adapted keywork.

The new Keilwerth "Shadow" saxophone combines the advantages of nickel silver with those of a black nickel plated finish. Nickel silver adapts to and conducts changing frequencies faster than other material, resulting in a very direct response, and a well centred and extremely powerful sound. Another important advantage is the reduced weight and the high stability. In combination with the black nickel plating, a completely new sound spectrum is created.

"Shadow" : the top saxophone for those who are looking for something exceptional!
