Characteristics: The Shadow Alto is an SX90R design with the major change of the material used in the tube (neck, body, bow & bell) construction. Instead of brass, the Shadow Alto is made from solid nickel-silver. Nickel-silver is an alloy comprised of 60% copper, 20% nickel & 20% zinc (regular brass is 70% copper and 30% zinc). The name “nickel-silver” is due to the metal’s appearance being lighter in color than nickel but not quite as light as silver. Many people find this horn to be more flexible for jazz, rock & pop style playing.

• The Keilweth Shadow Alto utilizes a “Soldered Rim” tonehole. In this setup, the tonehole is manufactured first like other traditional “straight” tone holes. This helps to add mass to the horn in a way that increases the tonal depth of the horn while not increasing the resistance.
