Amati Saxophone Serial Numbers

broken image


I recently worked on an unusual alto saxophone with the name AmatiKraslice engraved on the bell. It needed quite a bit of work, but it seemed to be pretty well made. It was quite heavy and had the bell key mechanisms of the old Bueschers and a LH pinky table shaped much like a Martin I believe.

Mar 14, 2018 - I purchased my first tuba this year with the hopes of learning enough to play TubaChristmas 2008 in Portland, OR. I've been learning mostly on.

Amati super classic tenor

• It works perfect with Windows XP SP2/SP3, Windws Vista SP1/SP2, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.5, Mac 10.6, Mac 10.7 operating systems. It can be used with any Huawei Modems.

Amati Saxophone Serial Numbers

Serial Numbers: 83xxxx and higher, Later models have a neck brace and 7 digit serial numbers. Identifiable by the elongated pearl RH alternative F# key; the bent brass high F# key and the AS/TS110 stamp on the bell. Also notice the neck stiffener under the neck which is smooth and does not have a crease like the Paris horns. Apr 24, 2020  Serial numbers can be used to identify supposedly 'better' instruments. It is sometimes (possible erroneously) supposed that five digit MKVIs are the best. Outlook for windows. Or you want to play a horn with a number that is close to your idol's saxophone.

The reason I am posting this is when I play tested the sax, it knocked my socks off. A beautiful even scale from top to bottom, a nice warm rich tone, and excellent intonation throughout the range. Has anyone else ever heard of or played one of these saxes made in the Czech Republic? One more time, I was taught the lesson to 'never judge a book.' This was obviously one of the earlier student models. I went to their website and they have several models above the equivalent of this one.

  • The Super Classic Amati 'Kraslice' line has a classic vintage American/German core sound, however the keywork is a bit clunky compared to many horns from the 1980's and newer. Not a disqualifier by any means. It falls somewhere in the intermediate to entry level professional saxophone category.
  • It is an nickel plated alto. Serial number is 02990. I believe they restarted the serial numbers at some point. The build quality on this Amati like the rod fit needs to tweaked when compared to a Conn 6M. There is solder inside the neck and its a bit rough in there. Despite that I belive it to be an exceptional alto for its period.

I would really like to try one of their more professional models, if the student horns play that well. Oh, I can tell you a lot about Amati saxophones. First, Amati was a 'nationalized' company that was made up of bits and pieces of other Czech (Markneukirchen) companies that were around pre-WWII. The fun part about that is that some Amatis used full bodies -- and sometimes keywork an/or model names, too -- from Kohlert, Julius Keilwerth models and probably other manufacturers. I think I've got some pictures: *. https://wowdownload.mystrikingly.com/blog/abbyy-finereader-12-serial-number-cracked. There are pics of full-on Keilwerth models in here, as well as 'Amati-assembled' horns with their own serial numbers. *, which has a Kohlert serial number.

If we go by when Amati was created (1945-1948), this would be one of the very first horns from Amati. *, which was also stenciled as the King Lemaire. This was student-quality and wholly made by Amati. There seems to have been at least one or two models after the Amati Toneking models and before the Classic Super, but I've not been able to get pics: I've just heard of them. Current Amati production is of instruments that have visual similarity to Yamaha horns, but aren't high quality. I bought one several years ago, because it came with a hard-shell formed case I wanted (good case + free sax).

It looked like someone had gotten plans from a YTS-52 and translated the measurements off by a couple MM, so some keys had to sit on flanges and such. It reminded me of some of the complex keywork on a Leblanc horn, but without the quality. Amati also makes the Keilwerth EX models, IIRC. Their website's at.

I worked on Amatis more than a few times, both saxophones and clarinets. I was never really impressed with them. Mavis beacon teaches typing for mac 2011.

Nokia 7230 whatsapp messenger download. Not great quality of mechanics. The stock mouthpiece was always awful for the ones I saw but maybe just a coincidence. Some local players, including professional players, have Amati saxophones and really like them.

These are usually relatively older models. Some young students play realtively new Amati student models, both clarinets and saxophones. I always find problems with both old and new ones. Just yesterday I came back from Musikmesse and I tried the Amatis again (in addition to too many other things ). The ones I tried (bari, alto, tenor, sop clarinet, C clarinet, bass clarinet) didn't make me want to stay and try more.

Pretty much all were pretty decent, felt fine, sounded ok (with the exception of the C clarinet which seemed to have severe intonation problems, like my Forte made by Amati, in fact they seemed exactly the same) but nothing exciting IMO. I also tried some of their flutes.

I'm a beginner and can't really judge so much. I liked them less than other beginner flutes, though maybe it was leaking I don't know.

Notes

Beaugnier:

If you decided to play around with the serial numbers on http://www.doctorsax.biz/beaugnier_ser_nos.htm, note that he doesn't differentiate between the Leblanc System (two/three versions), Rationale (whichever spelling you wish) and Semi Rationale (two versions).

Boosey and Hawkes:

1. Boosey and Hawkes is a combination of the Boosey company and the Hawkes company. Hawkes produced their own instruments, for a time, and combined with Boosey in the 1930s. Boosey and Hawkes have been, since that time, sheet music producers and importers.

2. A lot of the saxophones stamped 'Boosey and Hawkes' are stencil instruments. To read more about stencils, please read my article HERE.

Keefer:

The vast majority of saxophones stamped 'Keefer' are stencils.

Buescher:

Horns stamped 'The Buescher Band Instrument Company' from the 1920's are stencils, as are the modern BU-series of horns available from Selmer, and follow different serial number charts.

Buffet-Crampon:

1. A small, but significant, percentage of all Buffet and/or Evette-Schaeffer woodwinds in the 1900-1930 range (or so) were Conn stencils and do not have Buffet serial numbers. In the 1990's, Keilwerth stenciled a saxophone for Buffet called the 'Expression' and that model has a Keilwerth serial number.

2. The modern Buffet 400 (and similar) are Asian-made and do not follow these serial number charts.

Bundy:

1. The Bundy in question here is from approximately 1950 to date. Earlier horns were a mixture of Conn and Buescher stencils.

2. For a brief time, Bundy and Bundy Special saxophones were available from Keilwerth and Dörfler & Jörka, are stamped 'Made in Germany' and do not have a Bundy serial number.

Julius Keilwerth:

Except for the ST-90 I and EX-90 I and II, the ST-90 and EX-90 were not made by Keilwerth and probably do not have Keilwerth serial numbers. For a chart of those models, see THIS.

Kohlert:

The modern Kohlert instruments are made in China or Taiwan. Their serial number format is completely different. The serial numbers listed here are for the German/Czech made instruments.

LeBlanc:

Leblanc does not give out serial number charts. If you ask them, EXCESSIVELY NICELY, about a serial number off a horn you own, they might tell you when it was made.

SML:

1. The SML A400/T400 are Asian-made stencils not made under the authority of SML and are not included in this chart.

2. Some very early SML saxophones were stencils. There are also occasional late-model stencils. For further info, click HERE.

Vito:

Vito saxophones have been made by Vito (Wisconsin), Beaugnier, Leblanc, Yamaha, Jupiter and Yanagisawa. Keep this in mind when attempting to date your instrument.

Yamaha:

These serial numbers are probably only for the Vito labeled YAS-21/23/25 stencils. However, these serials might apply to all Yamsaha instruments.

The standard info on Yamaha serial numbers is that they are not sequential and you need to contact Yamaha directly for information.
