1) Which is the top model for Keilwerth tenor?
How's the sound compate with Selmer Ref 54 & 36.
Is it diffcult to play?


2) And hoW you compare with Guardala Erath-Tone and BN501?

SX 90 series.

Different.

Not if set up well.

I haven't played the Guardala horns.

The SX90 series is the top of the line. You can choose standard tone holes(SX90) or tone hole rings(SX90R). Most players seem to go for the rings Lots of finish choices too which vary in cost.

Compared to the reference horns it has a bigger and darker sound. The reference horns have the typical Selmer "compact sound".

Easy to play? Is any sax easy to play (well)? It blows with very little resistance if that's what you're asking.

I've only played the Guardala New York series which was marginally brighter than the Keilwerth and blew similarly to the Reference horns. The Guardalas are noticeably heavier than the other horns.

Play them yourself. You'll form your own opinions.

The Guardala's horns are/were made in Germany by B & S Saxophone Company.
