Does anyone know about the Amati Kraslice Clarinets as to quality and workmanship ect. I am considering purchasing a couple of these instruments (a Bb and an A) They are full Boehms with the bottom Eb extension and look to be in very good condition. The model numbers are, for the Bb ACL 605 and for the A ACL 675 The asking price is very reasonable.

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. 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.

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. Sygic product code keygens. I think I've got some pictures: *. 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. Microsoft yi baiti bold font download pc. 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.
