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.
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.
