I was just on the Woodwind & Brasswind site. They don't seem to be carrying too many of their horns now.

I think this is the reason why Yamaha and Yanagisawa survive in the marketplace. You have to have at least some pro horns that are ~$2000. Keilwerth has no pro horns at that price point; their minimum is $3k. It's too bad. Keilwerth makes nice horns. I just wouldn't pay the prices they expect to be paid.Joe Jazz said:I seem to remember reading earlier that the new Keilwerth distributor didn't want WW&BW selling Keilwerths anymore. I can't help but nptice that no one seems to be buying any new JK's off ebay. Guess I'm not the only one hating the higher prices!![]()
About 6 years ago, when the exchange rate was in America's favor, I bought my black nickel SX90R tenor from Saxophoonwinkel for $2,100. WWBW was selling them for $3,500.SaxyAcoustician said:I think this is the reason why Yamaha and Yanagisawa survive in the marketplace. You have to have at least some pro horns that are ~$2000.
