I am very happy with my E.M. Winston. The brand is beginning to gain some reputation.

In my opinion the keilwerth sx-90 is a great horn. It is very responsive and has great key work. However, if you want to play classical, the sx-90 is not the best choice. The tone is great, but it is bright and edgy. It would be great for jazz. Try yamaha, yanigasawa, and selmer.

While I'm a HUGE fan of Keilwerth SX horns on alto and tenor, I don't really like their soprano. Tried several them against my 1977 Yani at WWBW several months ago and liked my Yani better - much darker than the SX which surprised me as the alto and tenor SX horns are, to me, the ultimate as far as dark classical tone is concerned. In fact, my old Yani was darker than a brand new bronze Yani. So if you are looking for dark and sultry, save yourself a bunch of money and find yourself an old Yani - like an S6 or Elimona with the Mark VI style key arrangement. No front F, but everything else regarding the sound and intonation is totally worth that very small sacrifice.
