Hi again
OK,the tonholes are domed one mine as well. I thought that type of tone holes is called bevelled in general-learned something. If they are rounded on the inside
it is only slightly-they look and feel almost straight to eye and finger.
Sax Magic to answer your initial question: Most of the (old) german saxes
(Adler, Hammerschmid, Hess, Hohner, Hüller, Köhler, Kohlert, Mönning, Schuster, Keilwerth, Weltklang, Wunderlich) had a dark strong voice- somewhere in the middle between the French and the vintage american saxes. Apart from Keilwerth these companies dont exist anymore, but their horns where pretty good in terms of craftmanship and sound. Many(not all) are as good as the vintage French /American saxes,but outside of Germany they are hardly known. More infos you find on
www.saxwelt.de, but its all in german language
Peterogping: I am from Hamburg,I was several times in Denmark, it is so close, but since years I live mainly in Portugal. If there is an opportunity to meet, play and compare we can send PM
Besides you I never heard of anyone who owns one of these Kohlerts. Perhaps some more will appear through this thread.
And finally here are two pics of my sax.
Ps. I still hope to get some answers on my Tenor MP Ben Davis thread.
