Hi Timo, I would like to know are there any substantial timbral differences between the Amati Toneking saxes and the Keilwerth New King saxes...the sound of the Amati really surprised me. I have several Selmer Mark VII saxes and a Selmer Series III but the sound of my Amati is really special with a unique letterhead. I thought about replacing the left mechanism by taking it from a Keilwerth donor. Do you think it's possible? Thanks
Hi Timo, your video is very interesting, I have a question for you, I have just purchased a silver Amati tone king tenor sax which has a key which I thought was the high f# but I haven't yet understood what it is for... another thing the amati have a truly incredible sound the only flaw is the mechanics of the left hand the keys are not very ergonomic and small for my fingers I would like to know if you could modify it with a more modern mechanics thanks
It is not uncommon that some of these have high F# and some not, there have been variation in designs. About the other question, if you mean modifying left hand pinky table (low note keys) to be more ergonomic, that may be difficult.
I'm sorry if I besiege you with my questions, I was offered a Keilwerth Peter Ponzol tenor sax but I don't know it and I would like to know what you think, it's still a sax made in Germany or made in Taiwan, thanks
@@timyllym Obrigado por responder, eu procuro um fluxo liquido que acho melhor para trabalhar, mais aqui no Brasil não se encontra a não o fluxo liquido inflamável. @Timo Myllymäki Thanks for answering, I'm looking for a liquid flux that I think is better to work with, but here in Brazil you won't find anything other than the flammable liquid flux
Mainio video! Tota pleksikorjausta näkee kyllä usein noissa. Hommasin tossa melko erikoisen Toneking III Alton. Kaikki näyttää selkeältä tapaukselta: Ylä F# löytyy, Sarjanumero on 3xxxx, Made in germany ja se "JK - The best in the world" -logokin löytyy, mutta kellossa lukee selkeästi Broadway King. Oon yrittäny netistä etsiä tietoja tosta, mutta ainoastaan trumpetteja tulee vastaan Broadway King nimellä. Ota näistä sitten selvää. :D :D
Kiitos! Enpä ole minäkään kuullut Broadway King Keilwerthistä, eikä tosiaan netistäkään näytä mitään löytyvän. Varmaan joku custom-versio tai stencil jota on tehty vaan joitain kappaleita.
Hi Timo, I have another question for you, I recently purchased a Keilwerth Nex King tenor sax without high F#, is it possible to add it like the original model? and in your opinion, how do I sound? the keiwerth new king has different timbral characteristics from the Amati toneking
Hello, you can buy pads from several places e.g. musiccenter.it, ferreestools.com or musicmedic.com, but if you have no prior experience in repairing saxophone it is best to leave it to a professional repair technician. Changing pads looks easy but it is fairly difficult to get them seal well without any leaks.
Hi Timo. In your description, you mention that they were made fron the 1940s to the 1980s. I've seen a Tenor Keilwerth, but on the bell, the only thing that is engraved is Keilwerth Special. It does not mention Toneking. The serial # is 905.. so it is probably from 1985 or 1986. Do you know if it has the same dimensions as the more modern Keilwerth SX90-R or is it closer in size to the EX-90 (which was their intermediate model)? Also, do the Tonekings sound as good and loud as the SX90-R? Thank youTimo.
Hi Donovan, I haven't played SX90-R but I have understood that they were re-designed from Tonekings so they probably sound and feel different. Toneking Special should have "Toneking" also engraved like in the link below. I like the 60's Toneking that I have but I'd really like to compare it to a SX90-R. bassic-sax.info/version5/vintage-saxes/european-made-saxes/julius-keilwerth/jk-nauheim/
@@timyllym Hi Timo, thank you for the information and quick reply. So do you think that if it only says Keilwerth Special, that it's maybe not even a Keilwerth? I asked someone directly at Keilwerth and they said it was a model that came between the Toneking and the SX90-R.
Donovan, I can't say, Keilwerth has made many different models and also stencils. Someone said in a comment in this thread that he has an alto that looks exactly like Toneking but it has engraved Broadway King in the bell.
great video -thank you.
Very useful information, thanks

Hi, adding a high F# would be quite tricky job. It probably could be done but would take a lot of time.
Hello. ı bought an 1982 Tenor JK toneking. ı want to raplace the pads. Could any one tell me where İ can find New pads.
