A new Yamaha YRT 304 b arriving on 12/4. I know I'll need at least the #4 key and probably the #3. As much as I' d like ( if I could even afford to) other than appearance, what makes Lazar's add on keys over three times as expensive as those from Kelischek's workshop ? I'd like feedback from those who have used either or both. Too bad Yamaha doesn't make a keyed tenor.

Can't comment on Kelishek's keys or service, but I had a #4 key added to an Aulos tenor a couple of years ago by Lazar's and they did a super job. Worth every penny. I'm sending my Mollenhauer off right after Christmas.

Short turn-around to boot.

Highly recommended!

Just thought I'd post an update in case anyone is contemplating having this done...

I recently sent my Yamaha plastic recorder in for a Kelishek (Susato) key.

They only had the recorder for a day, the key works a treat, and was a fraction of the cost or the one I had installed on the Aulos tenor a couple of years ago.

The Kelishek key is plastic so we'll have to wait a while to see how it holds up but it's comfortable and looks just fine on the Yamaha.
