for my 16th bithday i get any tenor saxophone of my choice and the best thing i can find is a keilwerth shadow tenor sax. i want to know if that's a good choice or not. i want something unique and when played sounds like my audience has died and gone to the most beatiful regions of heaven. and I'm not a vintage type of person, so if any of you have suggestions i'm all ears but so far i've played selmer super action 80 series 2, selmer series 3, yanagisawa student models, and a whole bunch of yamaha student model tenors.
so once again i'm open for suggestions

If your planning on spending that much on a tenor like the shadow, try all the professional models of other companies out not just the student ones. Personnally I like Yanagisawa Saxophones, they don't sell a student model, but the start of their professional line is the 901. Also try the Yamaha Custom EX series which are great saxophones. I haven't liked selmers since the vintage models, difficult to play but the sound is incredible. Personally I do not like the sound of the solid nickel saxophones (that is my opinion), but I have yet to hear anything bad about Keilwerth, they are considered one of the four top four saxophone makers along with Yamaha, Yanagisawa, and Selmer. Bottom line if you are willing to get a saxophone where money is no object you need to try out all of the top of the line saxes and not just the one that looks better and is more expensive. You are the one that has to play it and it has to be comfortable in your hands.

Enjoy
