Description Brand: Keilwerth Skill Level: Professional Type: Tenor Key Finish: Brass Body Finish: Brass Lacquer Country/Region of Manufacture: Germany Body Material: Brass
I have a beautiful Keilwerth tenor, stenciled "Jean Barre Artiste" available. It's just been professionally overhauled by a Tech with over 50 years experience. The horn now has a fresh set of booster pads with flat metal resonators. The iconic "Angelwing" keyguard is cracked in places, but still looks elegant and is fully functional. The lucite pants guard is fully intact. This sax doesn't have any noticeable dents, just some minor players wear in the typical places. The engraving is crisp. The neck is also in great shape with only an insignificant ding which may not have come out in the photos. The body tube is stamped with the desirable "Best in the World" logo, "Made in Germany" and serial number 288xx (circa 1957).The sound coming out of this horn is vintage Keilwerth all the way (HUGE), and the bottom end is AMAZING!!This deal includes the sax body, neck, end plug, a King mpc and the original tweed case which is in good working order (no odors).
