If you wish to schedule a rebuild, or purchase one of the saxes (and it still needs to be rebuilt),  send me a 50% deposit to hold your place in the work schedule.  I work from a published schedule (see left margin) so that your sax will only be out of your possession a couple weeks, while i do the actual work, it does not have to just sit on the shop floor, until its turn comes up... you send it to arrive on schedule and we return it on schedule.

  E-mail chadd with  questions about our vintage saxes at:   worldwidesax@gmail.com  

Sure Pay/ClearXchange: The newest Bank-to-Bank $ transfer option by mobile phones to send money to our Email address! No fees attached! Perhaps THE way of future banking and payments. Use: WorldwideSax@Gmail.com

(Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Chase...)

  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).

Here is a pic of some custom resonator work. The reso can be sized to your tonehole, or whatever you would like.

I can get you virtually any resonator ordered. Sarge's favorite was the  Resotech solid silver reso.

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

HOLIDAY BREAK

Dec. 22, 2014 - Jan. 2, 2015

1.) I love what I do. 

2.) I love that I get to see some of the worlds most amazing saxes/mouthpieces...FOR WORK. 

3.) I dedicate this page to all the stuff that "I SHOULD HAVE KEPT" (aka: "these are all sold").

If I was rich enough to be able to keep everything I wanted, these are the examples of ones I should have hoarded. All of these examples tickled my ear for a special reason. 

1955 PermaGold Plate SML, Revision D Tenor: 

  These are superb tenors, made in France and rare as well. This one is in original gold plate that I will call 99%. The Rev D is very well respected and known for a uniquely special tone.  This sax has a nice engraving and I love the shiny vs matte look SML created in this original setup. super rare, thus the price. SML saxophones have a big Conn 10m like sound, but the This one was rebuilt, deserving the "The Sarge Special Rebuild"--Premium with larger resos (Resotech-gold ones!). Price included the deluxe rebuild! :)

SOLD to Germany
