Frequently Asked Questions

Black nickel plating is generally more durable against scratches than lacquer, but it's susceptible to tarnish and requires regular polishing to maintain its appearance.
Yes, Keilwerth uses premium leather pads with metal resonators, offering excellent response and a longer lifespan compared to standard pads – typically lasting 5-7 years with proper care.
The SX 90R offers a more focused and modern tone than a vintage Mark VI, with greater projection and a slightly brighter character; it lacks the ‘broken-in’ warmth of a well-loved vintage horn but excels in clarity and responsiveness.
