Saxophone reviews Keilwerth SX90DL soprano review

Howarth. My favourite Woodwind Shop. With great staff.
As the Irish say. May you be in heaven ten minutes before the devil knows your dead.🙂

Hi,
I've been the manager of Howarth sax shop for the last 11 years (but you look to young for that you cry!)
I normally avoid these forums since I like to remain impartial and it's easy to get caught up in debates, however, Dave and Aldevis were really helpful and this review means I don't have to struggle with words to describe the issues to Buffet.

It really is a pleasure to shop in such a professional place.

+1!

Enough said....

10 years on!

2 years ago I tried out a sx90dl at Dawkes, with a set up by their techs, and a lot of what has been said above was true of that horn too. Intonation wasn’t good, play tested alongside a sx90ii from the early 90s that was clearly the more playable instrument. I drove away glad to have tried it, clear that it wasn’t for me, and collected a speeding fine for my troubles.

Then, having spotted another sx90dl in France this August, used,18 months since purchased new, and more or less on my route back to the uk, I stopped by to give it a go.

This one had exceptional intonation, as least as good as my very nice Yamaha 62. It could not have been more different to the problematic example play tested two years before. So nice in fact, that it’s now at home with me.

So the message is there are some very, very good ones being produced.
