Asian Bass Sax Manufacturers (67)
With so many different brands of new, Asian-made bass saxophones currently on the market, some people might be surprised to find out that there are only 2 companies that make all these horns.

Asian Stencil Horns (30)
These horns all have something in common: they come from either China or Taiwan, and from unknown manufacturers. Unlike the vintage saxophones made by the American companies of yesteryear, or European companies like J. Keilwerth and Pierret, today's Asian-made saxophones are cloaked in secrecy.

Who makes these horns? Most times this is not known, and many dealers won't tell you who their stencil manufacturer is. Why this secrecy? That's a really good question. Dealers give all kinds of supposed reasons for this secrecy, but none really make sense when you consider that in the past, a horn's pedigree was not classified as "need to know only basis".

In any event, given the amount of these horns that are flooding the marketplace, I thought it was fitting that at least a few of them end up in this gallery.

Cannonball (101)
Cannonball saxophones are made in Taiwan in 1 of 3 factories. These factories are the result of a contractual partnership between a husband and wife team from Salt Lake City, Utah, and a young, talented manufacturer from Taiwan. Together the group founded Cannonball.

After the saxophones have been manufactuered and assembled in Taiwan, they are shipped to Cannonball's facility just outside of Salt Lake City. There the horns are re-regulated, and checked for a perfect seal. According to Cannonball: "Then, a professional saxophonist and master acoustical technician plays the horn and customizes it to ensure it has great body, resonance, and focus. If there are any pitch anomalies they are also fixed at this time."

J.Keilwerth (1244)
If you're looking for a comprehensive listing of J. Keilwerth serial numbers, I suggest you look at the one compiled on Saxwelt.de No knowledge of German is required.

J. Keilwerth was first a Czechoslovakian company—when they had their company in Graslitz—and then later a German company, when they forcibly removed, and relocated to Nauheim after WWII. Exact dates for the move & the resumption of saxophone production is rather debatable, since available German information is a bit contradictory. Therefore it is difficult to say if a particular horn is Czech or German (unless the stamping is clearly visible).

It is safe however, to assume that horns made after 20000 are made in Germany. Anything before, is likely made in Czechoslovakia.

Kohlert (336) new
Until shortly after WWII, Kohlert's Sons was located in Graslitz. However, because of the rejigging of country lines due political upheavals, their saxophones were stamped with different country names.

Graslitz was a part of the territory of Böhmen. From 1867 to 1918 it was part of Austria-Hungary. From 1919 to 1938 Böhmen was part of Czechoslovakia. Then from 1938 to 1945 it was a part of Germany. After 1945 it became part of Czechoslovakia again.
