Keilwerth Serial Number Chart. Serial Number, Year Manufactured. From The Bassic Sax Blog (Kudos to Helen): Then this morning I happened to come across the most complete serial number chart of Julius Keilwerth.
The New King Alto #21971 Source: eBay. Dvdfab Hd Decrypter Torrent Crack File. de I have tried to find serial number charts for Keilwerth saxophones on a number of occasions. Usually my attempts have netted me partial listings at best. More often than not there are years missing out of the chart, so its always a best guess. Then this morning I happened to come across that I have seen to date. This chart covers saxophones built by the J. Keilwerth company from 1925 through 2000. This chart also happens to correspond to the research conducted by German saxophone historian Uwe Ladwig.
Perhaps this last fact is not surprising, since the source for this J. Keilwerth information is the German language website.
I liken Saxwelt to the English speaking website —only Saxwelt is smaller in membership, and isn’t in English. However, don’t let the fact that it’s a German website scare you off. Keilwerth serial number chart does not require any foreign language skills. True the words serial number and production year are in German, but you’ll figure it out soon enough. So if you’re looking to date your J. Keilwerth sax, check out. Chances are you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for.
Welcome to my site. JK did make some Jean Barre Artiste stencil horns.
I do have a couple that I have managed to collect images from, (Bassic Sax Pix). That said, without seeing images of your horn, and without and without knowing its serial #, I can’t tell you for sure what you have. If you’d like me to tell you know more about your sax, send me some photos. Here’s that let’s you know what kind of photos allows me to help you the most. Send the photos to my, and please don’t forget to include the serial #, or at least the first 2 or 3 digits of it. I hope this helps. Regards, Helen.
Welcome to my site. Well both of these questions have been answered in, but I’ll throw my 2 cents worth into them here as well. My friend Milandro was quite correct when he stated the horn’s vintage. According to the JK serial number chart that is linked to in the above article (did you read it/check it out BTW?) it was indeed made in 1957. As to your tenor’s value.
That I couldn’t tell you as easily as my on-line buddy JayePDX can—he’s a dealer, I’m not. He is giving you a general price, assuming nothing major is wrong with the horn.
If you are serious about wanting to see how yours stacks up against others, I have an article that you can can use to determine the value of your specific horn. You can find the article.
Hope this info helps. Regards, Helen. Welcome to my site. Sorry about that.
I fixed the links. I’ve been meaning to do that for some time now, but keep forgetting. Saxwelt changed their website address structure, and didn’t put redirects on the pages. (That’s akin to moving and not giving the post office your forwarding address.) In any event, the Herb Couf tenor that you inherited from your cousin was made in 1976. With regards to its value, I have that will help you figure out its approximate value. The sad thing—sad if you’re the seller—is that the prices of vintage horns is at nearly rock bottom prices at the moment. I’m seeing absolutely gorgeous, vintage horns sell for half of what they did pre-recession.
Great if you’re in the market for a vintage sax. If you’re selling one however, obviously it’s not so good. What are your plans for the horn? Are you just trying to determine the value out of interest? Or are you planning on selling it?
Maybe you might want to take it up as a double? There is always call for instrumentalists who can double. (I’m a big believer in keeping horns, which explains why I have too many of them.) 😈. Welcome to my site. The serial number chart that I linked to—besides cutting off around 2000—is only for Keilwerth’s pro model saxophones. The EX is of course JK’s intermediate model, and the Series III had its parts made by Keilwerth in Germany, and was assembled in the Czech Republic by Amati. I have not seen any serial number listings for JK’s intermediate horns—or those of any other manufacturer for that matter.
