Pre-Owned Keilwerth EX 90 Series II Tenor Saxophone - Clear Lacquer
For sale is a beautiful Pre-Owned Keilwerth EX 90 Series II Tenor Saxophone, serial number 103043. Julius Keilwerth saxophones are legendary for their massive, commanding presence, and the EX 90 Series II delivers that signature German powerhouse sound at a much more accessible price point than their flagship models. If you are looking for a tenor with a huge bottom end and a wide, dark tone that can easily fill a room, this EX 90 is a fantastic option that won't break the bank.
Who Is This Horn For?
This is the perfect instrument for the advancing student, serious hobbyist, or gigging professional who wants to step up to a horn with real character. Keilwerth saxophones are famously popular among jazz, rock, and R&B players because the bore design allows you to push an incredible amount of air through the horn without the sound breaking up. If you feel like your current student tenor sounds "thin" or "nasal," the sheer width and depth of this Keilwerth will be a game-changer.
The "EX 90 Series II" Advantage
-
The Keilwerth Bore: The geometry of this saxophone is built for volume and breadth. It produces a thick, spreading sound that is completely distinct from the more focused French or Japanese designs.
-
Traditional Drawn Tone Holes: Unlike its more expensive cousin (the SX90R), this EX 90 features traditional drawn tone holes rather than rolled ones. Many players actually prefer this, as it provides a slightly more centered core to the sound and makes future repads and maintenance much simpler and more precise.
-
Modern Ergonomics: Keilwerth is known for a slightly wider key layout that feels incredibly comfortable, especially for players with larger hands. The action is sturdy, reliable, and built to withstand the rigors of frequent playing.
Condition Report
-
Finish: Clear Lacquer. The finish is in excellent condition overall. There are a few very, very small "flea bites" (tiny surface marks/blemishes) scattered throughout the lacquer, which is completely normal for a pre-owned instrument. These are purely cosmetic and barely noticeable unless you are looking closely.
-
Body: Structurally Sound. There are no signs of major damage, dents, or past trauma. The bell, bow, and neck are in great shape.
-
Mechanics: This horn is a solid player. The pads are sealing well, and the keywork is tight and responsive. As with all our instruments, it has been fully inspected and adjusted by our in-house technicians to ensure it plays effortlessly from top to bottom.
