My Closing Comment
I will NOT be available to respond to questions or comments for the last 2 hours of the auction and still not available up until a couple of hours after it ends.
My wife came home from work with a severely injured knee, from the day before, and can't walk at the moment.
We'll be heading out to her hometown chiropractor for treatment and to run a few errands while there.

Please excuse me if this is inconvenient for you.
Thanks for considering this bari sax and for bidding, should you do so!

Here's the best I can do, at the moment, to provide more and better pictures of this horn. If you would like a shot of something that does not appear here, please email me and I will get it to you as soon as I can.

In looking at these images and asking questions about them, I have listed, underneath each picture, the file name so we are both certain of what we are talking about. Therefore, please use the bariXX listed under each picture you have questions about so I am certain to properly address any issues and concerns you may have.

If this web page does not load or is too slow loading and you would like the pics emailed to you, just send me an email and I'll gladly do so, either individually, in small groups, or in a zipped file - just let me know which you prefer.

That's All Folks!

Here's the information eBay asked me to remove to be in compliance with their spamming and links polices.

Please understand, from what I've had explained to me some people on eBay can cause all kinds of improper eBay spam driven search results or link to hate filled or pornographic or other types of web sites that eBay must, and does work hard, to protect itself against.

An example of a spam drive search result would be that searching for any of the horn manufacturers I've listed below, all of them would be read and you could find yourself looking at my ad while shopping for a Yamaha or Sugal or Selmer or Cannonball or whatever other terms I could bury in an ad.

Before considering what this beautiful looking and great sounding Low-A, Keilwerth professional SX-90 bari sax may be worth to you, consider the following street prices for a new, Low-A, standard lacquer, bari sax. And, if your local music stores are similar to mine, even after haggling a lot, their retail prices are much higher because their store prices have to include overhead and operations for the store.

Student or intermediate quality bari saxes:
Jupiter 893SG $2,700 or more
Vito 7190BA $2,900 or more
Selmer 156A $3,000 or more
Yanagisawa B901 $3,500 or more
Yamaha YBS52 $3,600 or more

Professional quality bari saxes:
Yanagisawa B991 $4,800 or more
Keilwerth SX90R $5,100 or more
Selmer 55 Super Action 80 Series II (No Engraving) $5,300 or more
Selmer 55 Super Action 80 Series II $5,700 or more
Yamaha YBS62 $5,800 or more

Another way of looking at the relative market value of this great, professional, Low-A, Keilwerth SX-90 bari sax is to compare the opening bid to the sale prices of Low-A bari's successfully sold on eBay, in the past few weeks (simply check completed sales on the left side menu, on your eBay search screen, then click on price to list either the highest or lowest prices for recent sales):
Vito 7190 VSP $2,995
Milwaukee $2,225
Yamaha YBS-52 $2175
Yamaha YBS-52 $2,049
Selmer USA $2,025
Martin Magna Low-A $1,895
Yamaha YBS-61 $1,728
Yamaha YBS-52 $1,701
Yamaha YBS-52 $1,692
Milwaukee $1,425
Yamaha YBS-32 $1,395
Vito $979
Jupiter JBS-593 $955
