I admit my Czech-Canadian heritage and that I am a bit of a ‘shill’ for the Amati brand. I will leave it to some scholar in the future to write the definitive history, with names, details and facts that I have not included in this short summary. My goal is to provide some insight in the evolution and revolutions that have taken place to result in the Amati-Denak company of today. The instrument makers were directly impacted by European wars of the Twentieth Century, Nazi and Soviet expansionism and the Cold War. The history of saxophones and other instruments produced by the predecessors of Amati-Denak is complex, confusing and convoluted. The opinions in this article are the author’s and I reprint it here without any edits.

With these exquisite features and world class benefits, these saxophones will put you in the company of the most elite artists of the world. Unlike other saxophones in which posts are soldered to body ribs, hence breaking up vibrations, Keilwerth Saxophones solder posts directly onto the body producing a clear alive sound. An extra wide bow and large bell flare give low notes a positive response, from pianissimo to forte, never before possible. These rolled tone holes extend pad life, give greater security against leaks and a much quieter key action. There is no finer saxophone available - period! Tone hole edge rings brazed onto the standard tone holes yield greater emission of sound. The SX90R alto and tenor saxophones are the perfect marriage of the vintage sound of the 1920's and 1930's to the craftmanship and technology of the New Millenium.

Extra large genuine mother of pearl keys for the finger board, adjustable palm keys, G# lifting mechanism, adjustable thumb hook, exquisite engraving on the bell and bow, key clamps, and a Bullet Case are standard on each saxophone. At Keilwerth they have developed instruments for your voice. In classical, jazz, blues, or rock, the alto and tenor saxes emulate the human voice more than any other instrument.
