Julius Keilwerth Shadow Tenor Saxophone

Description

The SX90R Shadow saxophone pushes the limits of design and performance. The body is made of German nickel silver that resonates strongly and responds quickly to the players demands. Black nickel plating coats the body adding depth to the well centered and powerful sound. The inner bell and key work are silver plated to highlight the extensive hand engraving for a vibrant and dazzling appearance. From the small, intimate club to a concert arena for thousands of fans, the SX90R Shadow saxophone lets the player take control and offers limitless potential for expression and sound.

SX90R Series tenor saxophones

Description

The SX90R Series saxophones offer a rich, solid tone that suits the player in any style of music from classical to jazz. Features include a wide bow and bell design allowing for a more responsive and fuller tone in lower registers, rolled tone holes to enhance projection and prolong pad life, adjustable palm keys to customize the key height and comfort to any player, and G# lever mechanism to prevent sticking keys. Different finish options are not only attractive but contribute toward the different tonal colors each variation provides.

In addition to the above description from the current JK website, the most recent Julius Keilwerth Saxophones brochure that I have—which is I believe the last version that was available—notes the following about the various models:

Gold Lacquer

The SX90R Gold Lacquered saxophones offer a rich, solid tone that suits the player in any style of music from classical to jazz.
Enjoy all of the versatility this model allows with the traditional sound and response of a gold lacquered instrument. Precision engraving and gold lacquered keys result in a high quality and attractive presentation.

Vintage

The SX90R Vintage saxophones have a unique finishing method that creates an individual appearance and natural tone. Through our exclusive treating process, the raw brass will oxidize and patina to bring out its natural beauty and character. After precise engraving the instrument is coated in clear lacquer to seal in the finish.
The result is a warm, mature tone with the resonance of a classic, un-lacquered instrument and the strength and quality of a modern build. The SX90R Vintage features brushed nickel keys and black pads for added depth to the look and sound.

Black Nickel

The SX90R Black Nickel saxophones have set the standards for quality and performance.
The Black Nickel plated body is complemented with gold lacquered keys and meticulous hand engraving to offer a look and sound that cannot be duplicated by any other. The tone is warm and expressive and resonates full and clear, allowing each player to create a personal identity and voice.
