Hi!!!
Today is a big day for me because, for the first time in 5 years I'm going to play alto again (I've been playing tenor for 5 years now). I've bought a Keilwerth EX-90II (2nd hand, good state, recently checked). When I tested it it sounded great! I don't see why people don't like the sound. I think the EX-90II had the same "feel" like a pro-sax. One thing that would be kinda a problem, is that I now have to learn all my tunes and improvisations in Eb (I know everything in Bb atm). Also, transposing from C to Bb is pretty easy, you just put everything a whole note down. How do I do this for alto? It's in Eb, so, erhm, I guess I would have to put everything 1,5 step down? I'm always confused
Anyways, what do you guys have experienced with Keilwerth?
Oh, by the way, sorry for the, maybe "spoilt" (although, this is my second sax in 5 years), title but I'm just really excited about it!
