Re: Keilwerth Saxophones - What is the difference between them?
To answer your question, "Since the tone holes have been the subject of many forums, why didn't Keilwerth simply own up to the problem and fix it?"
As I said, I don't believe that this was EVER a wide-spread problem as some sites and articles you may have read have made it out to be. I can assure you that Keilwerth has excellent customer service and that if you did have a problem with your horn, Keilwerth would take care of the problem. Since the speculation, I believe that Keilwerth has stepped up quality control to make sure that this is absolutely not a problem. If it really concerns you, look into the regular SX-90 without the rolled tone holes. The rolled tone holes give a warmer, darker sound like the vintage Conn's of the 30's The Keilwerth SX-90 sounds similar to a Conn 10M. It's as close as you're going to come to a modern Conn 10M. They're a great horn for blues, jazz, funk, bop, classic rock, swing and just about any kind of music, really. I think the Selmer is a little better suited for classical music. Try one!
