They'll be popular with house bands in French bordellos.

Black with Lacquer keys - Yes, for the time being we plan on offering both. However, if we find that all the sales are going in the direction of the black and silver, then we would likely settle on only the black and silver.

Time will tell.

I have to admit, I was a little afraid of going black and silver since the engraving is still brass. I have seen other horns that did that combination that I really did not like. However, I think that due to the level of the engraving we have, and the fact that it is spread out evenly on the horn, I really think that they 3 colors compliment each other well.

Nice looking horn Dave. I like the black/Silver better than the Bl/Gold.
What is aprox shipping in US?
Think you'll ever order them with the black or Gray Key Touches?

On our Kessler Custom saxes, inside the continental USA we ship them via UPS Ground for free.

This will only exclude the upcoming Bari (new prototype should be arriving Monday!)

No plans for any new finishes any time soon.

I agree that the three colors together(black, silver, brass engraving)never quite looked right to me. The brushed look with the extra engraving is the most beautiful to me!

I just bought one and cant say enough good things about it. By the way Dave, in the picture on the web, it looks much darker then it is because of the black satin used in the photo.

IMHO this does not do the horn justice, maybe have some of the pics with a different color back ground, because I was thrilled when I got it. It looks even better then on the website!

Thanks again for a great horn and great service!

Glad to hear you like it.

The black nickel is a tough one to really photograph. Due to the reflective nature of the plating with the lacquer coat, I use the black background so that the horn actually looks black rather then reflecting the 500W white lights and the white room - which would make the horn look more gray.

In either case, I do agree that the pictures do not do the horn justice.
