Can anyone tell me if the SX90 tenor neck will work on a ST90 horn?
Or do you know of other necks that perform well on the ST90 horns.

Can I ask what is the “ problem” that you are trying to fix? Which version of the ST have you got?

No problems at all.
I have the ST90 Series III.
An opportunity has come up to buy a SX90 neck at a good price.
The seller however is not near by, so I won't have to chance to try it first.
The horn plays very well with its own neck, but I am by nature curious as to whether it might work.

If I were you I’d buy it and try although if there is no problem to be fixed you are more likely to induce a problem than to improve anything.


Should you not be interested in this neck I may be.

The diameter of the ST III ( which is really made by Amati) is?

I'll measure it tomorrow.
The horn is at work and I'm home now.
This is a surprisingly good horn in its own right.
Outplays any of Yamahas student offerings and many other of their intermediate/pro horns.

There is nothing wrong with a horn made by Amati, they have long relationship with Keilwerth ( one may say they were fashioned from an historical Keilwerth’s rib).

The ST was simply a less sophisticated horn but the distinction is purely formal. It works.


The brand appreciation is a different matter altogether.

I’ve never played the SX90 models, but if they sound better than the ST90 models, they must be a wonderful horn.
I’d especially really like to try the SX90 Baritone one day.

I've played the ST90 and own a SX90 alto, a SX90R tenor and a SX90II soprano. And yes: SX90(R) plays a lot better than the ST90

Thanks.
The SX90R must really be an amazing horn then.

Not very fair to compare an ST to an SX, really. ST's were always outsourced and their market was always the budget end of things.

But I agree, it's a far better instrument than any YAS 23...

Keith Ridenhour actually bought a replacement JK neck for his neckless ST90 a while back. I believe that one was an SX neck, and it worked fine on the ST90 (I serviced the horn).

Thanks, this is good to know.
