This horn looks absolutely beautiful, and is described by the seller like this:<\/p>\n

I’m selling my beautiful Keilwerth SX90 Bass Saxophone. I’m only the second owner. The original owner is the renowned woodwind mouthpiece and repair expert Bill Street. I bought the instrument from Bill about 6 years ago. The instrument has only ever been played by 2 professionals. Bill continued to maintain the instrument for me after I bought it.<\/p>\n

There are no dent or solder repairs anywhere on the instrument.<\/p>\n

It plays with a lush full tone and the scale is excellent. There is one minor scratch that you can see near the serial number, and just a bit of lacquer wear on the neck. I tried to show that in the picture, but the wear is insignificant and the flash hid it. There is one tiny ding in the neck, also so small I couldn’t get the picture to show it. Other than that, it looks brand new.<\/p>\n

The pads are in excellent shape. It comes with the original case pictured. It also is in excellent condition.<\/p>\n

This horn plays!! From a whisper to a thunderous roar, this horn is amazing.<\/p>\n

In the pictures is an amazing custom stand made by Andreas Kraling of Deep Schrott, a German bass sax quartet. I will sell that for an additional $350, if the winning bidder would like it. It holds the saxophone absolutely securely in any playing position, sitting or standing. It is fully adjustable.<\/p>\n

Shipping is expensive on an instrument like this. I am will to deliver the instrument within a 300 mile radius of Portland, Maine for $300. Shipping and insurance will depend on your location, of course.
\nBest internet price is over $18000, with a long wait! Just BUY IT NOW!!
\nWinner bidder choose a mouthpiece!!!!!!
\nAll are custom hard rubber mouthpieces by Bill Street.
\n1 Vandoren Blank, med facing, med chamber–very versatile. Big & Warm
\n2 Old Berg Larson blank, more open tip, roll over baffle med large chamber. Big & Full
\n3 Custom blank, open tip, raised baffle. Simply killing piece.
\nChoose one, and I’m willing to sell the others for $150\/ each.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My only question is: Why didn’t anyone in Maine sell a horn like this when I lived in New Brunswick? \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh well… I don’t really need a 2nd bass sax now, do I? Check out these photos that show what appears to be a JK, SX 90 bass sax in stunning condition…<\/p>\n

The stand that is available as an extra for $350, is the same one that I use. BTW, that is a really, really good price. If you’d like to read more about the stand; see more photos of what it looks like; or check out a video of how it works, check out this page on my website<\/a> that is all about Andreas’ revolutionary bass saxophone stand. It simply is the BEST bass saxophone stand available anywhere\u2014and that’s no hyperbole. (Yes, I’ve tried the SaxRax bass stand as well, but Andreas’ is better.)<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a bass saxophone, then this JK, SX 90 bass sax could just be the one for you. (It would really keep your shipping costs down if you live on the East Coast.)<\/p>\n

The auction<\/a> for this lovely horn ends at 1PM PDT today, so you have only a few hours to get your bid in. Bids are to start at $7,500.00 US, with a BIN price of $10,500.00. At the time of writing there were no bids yet on this wonderful horn.<\/p>\n
