Description
About and History:This is a Julius Keilwerth SX90R Alto Saxophone, keyed in Eb. I was gifted this sax by my family in 1997 while I was heavily involved in music, playing professionally. The sax was very well cared with routine maintenance performed professionally every 6 months while it was played. Around 2008 I stopped playing this saxophone due to a combination of my day job and the other collection of instruments I own. This item has been stored sense then and has not been played. My decision to sell it is motivated by a need to help pay for graduate school I'm attending this year.
Serial Number
Serial number is 104142 (see picture of serial stamp) from my research this would indicate a production date sometime near 1995-96.
Condition:
No major damage to the instrument, it has never been dropped or abused beyond normal use from practice and performance. There is some brass that is worn and areas of typical wear for a saxophone but nothing out of the ordinary for an instrument that was played frequently.
Linkages, cork, and pads may require some maintenance. Before listing this instrument was played and my only clear technical observation was that low C and E flat pads don't seal in some fingering positions, I did not notice anything else wrong however its possible there are other issues that may require attention. I highly recommend you take it to a competent instrument servicer and have a basic tune up performed.
One last note, in my youth for some reason I decided to color in "Julis Keilwerth" on the carrying case with some redish paint, I can't tell you why I did it but its there.. you could probably remove it if you needed to with solvent :)
Shipping:

I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.
