Keilwerth SX90R Alto in Gold Lacquer - Special Offer

£2,367.00

The Keilwerth SX90R saxophones. Keilwerth took the technical advantages and improvements of the SX90, and added some extra features to truly make the musician‘s instrument his own. The result was the SX90R (the R standing for tonehole rings), a saxophone reminiscent of the old Conn and Buescher saxes of the 1940s. The most striking feature of this saxophone is its toneholes. The SX90R uses tonehole rings which are soldered on to the standard drawn toneholes. The tonehole 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 tonehole. The production of darker, more immediate, less focused sound is an added benefit of the tonehole rings, which allow the musician to form his own individual voice.

Box of 10 Tenor Alexander Superial NY's
After the introduction of Superial, "DC", and Classique in the 1990's, Tom Alexander began to conceive of a model which would add a new and different dimension to the tonal universe of our reeds.

The Superial NY reed was born following extensive conversations between Tom Alexander and a legendary Jazz saxophonist friend some years ago, and through experimentation with different prototype designs. It has also been thoroughly field tested by subjecting it to many months of on the job playing in the concert and tour performances of several of our World Artists who've now given it their seal of approval.

The result is a new reed made with Superial's same high grade S. France cane, yet a redesigned tip and profile which produces a big and bold sound, full response throughout the registers and the type of vibrant, solid tone traditionally associated with that of the New York music scene. The tip is somewhat harder than DC which gives it a sustaining power, especiially in the high end of the horn.
Our Price (excluding vat): £33.00 (£38.78 Including VAT at 17.5%)

Strength?

Box of 10 Alexander Tenor Reeds
Premium standard, precision cut, natural cane reeds.

The Superial is designed to produce a warm, resonant "buzz", good projection, even scale throughout the registers, and a wide dynamic range. In other words this reed provides a tonal platform that is free blowing, capable of quick and accurate articulation, and one that gives immediate presence.

The Superial DC reed has a slightly harder tip and more wood in the heart and sides than Superial and therefore produces a more solid tonal core, enhanced projection and power, and a little darker harmonic timbre than Superial, but still one with the kind of "edge" and authority needed in soloing or lead work.

The Classique reed is used not only by classical and concert performers, but any others looking for a darker tone which this reed's harder tip and heart produce.
