Saxophones The ones that got away.

[GJ77]

Who's ever sold a sax only to deeply regret it later on?

In the early 90s I sold an original Conn 12M Bari in immaculate condition. All original without a dent on her and played like a dream. Unfortunately I foolishly thought that I'd only really want/need an alto (I was very young and foolish). Regretted it ever since.

Nope, but I did start on alto when I should have started on tenor and I ended up buying a Hanson SA-8 which was very nice and then a Keilwerth SX90R which I hated. So I wish I had never bought the SX 90R.

Really?

Keilwerths have always held a certain appeal for me, even though I've never played one. I'm considering getting a new Bari soon and want to try one.

Why did you hate it?

Before you splash loads of cash on a Keilwerth you might want to have a read of this

Mostly sticking keys. It's with Jon Myatt but is going to Howarths soon to be sold. It's an alto.
