Saxophones kaerntner?

[brewdawg77]

As my search for a second-hand tenor begins here in Japan, I've come across a Kaerntner tenor sax. Does anyone know anything about this brand? Far as I can tell, it's a Japanese brand (maybe). Oh, and they are pretty cheap. Just wanted to know if anyone has any insight about Kaerntner. Thanks.

I saw one recently for sale. As always I look for info on any unknown brand, but found little.

In which case, if I were looking to buy, I'd look elsewhere 100%.

Unless, like Jericho, Baushaus (not so cheap), G4M, you can find more positive reviews than negative (and find both) you should avoid any cheap horns like the plague. Many reasons, including: Longevity; Playability; Resaleability.

Look elsewhere for sure.

Yes, those were my thoughts. After searching the internet, I didn't come up with much so I'd thought I'd ask here. Thanks.

I'm curious too, they look like bargains; but, still too much $$$ just for curiosity's sake..

Good to see someone doing their due diligence before buying. Hats off to you for asking the questions. Many do not. So many post “ I bought a “XYZ” sax @ $€¥ value. Only to find out that they have a purchased a boat anchor.
Keep looking, learn about the makers. Seek local pro players for advice of what’s good.
Honestly in Japan I would look to buying a Yamaha.
