For the latest generation of saxophones Amati used a similar system as Yamaha to designate the various models and this has lead to some confusion in the marketplace. For example the initial entry line Alto was AAS 21 while Yamaha offered a YAS21. Some people jumped to the incorrect conclusion that the Amati saxophones were Japanese copies. Nov 23, 2012 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.

Horn made by the Czech firm of Amati are more popular there and in Germany than Stateside.
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.
Despite being good sounding, well built horns, they don't have a tremendous resale value here or in Europe, so I hope that you didn't pay too much.
I would value it in the $400 price range in fine condition. Super smash bros crusade online server.
