WorldwideSax.com is a Vintage Saxophone repair shop that also buys, completely rebuilds and resells Vintage Professional Saxophones. I also do Rebuilds and Restorations for customers from all over the world.

WWS is a by appointment only specialist, not a "music store". Customers can see and hear what is available on this website.

 

NOTICE: You are viewing the old WWS website.

(Inventory is out of date. In your http address, you'll see "old" for these

WWS archives. We wanted to keep this live for saxophone research.)

  If  a horns says "just rebuilt", then it's ready to go, saxes that say "scheduled for a rebuild" are waiting for the work to be done, but it will be included in the posted price.  If a sax says "ON TRIAL" someone is taking advantage of the "Three Day Trial" policy (See Info and Orders page).

HINT: no one ever says that these models play "bad".

Keilwerth made The New King and Tone King  as their main brand names, from 1932 to 1969 or so, but there were always stencils, like Edgeware and later Couf.  Here are few of the other names you may find on Keilwerth made horns.  The New King and Tone King saxes were identical except for a high F# key on the tone king model, but keilwerth marketed the Tone King as the "deluxe" Pro model and the New King as the "standard" Pro model

There are a few more sound samples around the website near their respective sax descriptions.

Also, we have the Sound File Archives on the  Saxophone Comparison Page. 

 

 

Has your mouthpiece been inspected for a proper curve and seal?

 YES? ... NO? ...

ALL mouthpieces need to be handcrafted to be up to WWS Standards, Vintage or Factory New.

 
BobCarpenter@WWS002b.jpg (448457 bytes)Neat AND skilled craftsmen are always hard to find. It's been my pleasure to begin studying mouthpiece repair and secret techniques under Bob's teaching. Some of my latest geeking-out has been over curves and preferences:

And Bob doesn't use computers to assist his curves. 

CHECK OUT THE COOL, original Double-Chamber MOUTHPIECE HERE!

I (chadd) was studying more mouthpiece repair techniques with Bob in January 2012. He graciously let me photo the workshop AND he did plenty of showing off all the cool mouthpiece extras that were around. 

 

 

 

 

Just added new mouthpieces at our vintage mouthpiece page, check them out!

Your Sound on sax

     Playing sax is so much more personal than something like piano or drums... you have to play, yes, practice too, but you also have to work to make your particular sound... unlike piano or drums or similar instruments, it involves a technique (embouchure, wind control, reading, and controlling the instrument)  Then, it also means that you have to decide how you want to play, jazz, blues, new orleans dixie, etc.  Most people decide on a sound and a style, or genre.  To get that sound, you will need the right tools.  The tools are: 1) a mouthpiece (and there are over a hundred designs/tonal shades) and 2) a saxophone (also a lot of designs, ergonomics and sounds).  Each sax will shade you to the sound you like best, for your personal taste.  I have my favorite sound, but it might be different that what you prefer...  ok, now i'm getting to my point, the only way i can help point you in the right direction, is if you can help me help you.
     Usually, people find one or two sax hero's (fathead newman, ben webster, etc) and decide that their favorite sound and style is similar to one of their heroes.  We can help you sound like the legends by pairing the right sax and mouthpiece.

     So, the ball is in your court.  If you say john coltrane is closest to your favorite, we find you a old Florida era Otto Link and a Selmer Mark VI.  That said, sometimes people don't want to sound like anyone else... They want to pick three famous horns and try them, to see what sound they get and then decide what they're drawn to!  We can usually help with that too (for locals, they can play them in person, for out of the area players, we record them with state of the art equipment and email a sample mp3 of each horn or mouthpiece).

   I hope that helps to get you started.  Here's a great webpage to help you look at different models: Saxophone Comparison Chart--don't forget, the chart is a compilation of our opinions.

Regards,

chadd (& sarge, in spirit)

 

 

 

    We have been lucky to make many friends and am blessed with more business than one man can handle...  because of that, there's always a long waiting list. So long ago, Sarge came up with a system that works.  We have a work queue (upper Left sidebar)... people who want work done send us a 50% deposit to have their work added to the queue.  Then when their turn comes up, they ship the horn to arrive a couple days before work is scheduled to start.  The queue is posted on the Left Margin of my website pages and is updated weekly.  Doing it this way, your sax only has to be out of your possession a couple weeks.

       The "Work Schedule" now consists of me, Chadd, doing one rebuild every 11 days or so ( because I used to teach music at the local school + some lessons students)... and some of those will be WWS horns that are going to customers.  So, I'm not real speedy and I really don't want to have other people sub work in, or enlarge the shop and have different workers doing different levels of work. Aside from doing the restoration work on saxes and mouthpieces, there is the time consumed by "running the business"  and answering the phone, that never stops ringing, so hopefully this system can keep our customers happy. 

 I will do my best to be just as available as Sarge has been for the last 13+ years and always happy to help, with the best customer service I can muster... If you are patient and like our style, then by all means let us do our best, for you.

    thanks, chadd

HAVE YOU SEEN...
final photos from a Silver Restoration?

One of the most common questions I get asked is... 

 

"How do I get to reserve a spot in your work schedule, or how long until a WWS stock horn gets rebuilt?"

Create an Order:

SAX or REBUILD

The best plan I have been able to devise is a Deposit System. Work, on almost anything gets scheduled right away when I receive a deposit for the work (or sax) you have interest in.  Email me and ask about what interests you, then we can discuss my next schedule opening, see if it works for you... and how to get me the deposit that makes the wheels roll.
