Keilwerth 1965 Tone King Special, Tenor Sax, SILVER, #53k High F#, = Superba 1

  
1965 Keilwerth "Tone King Special" Tenor. So you know I want to keep this older cousin! This is a rare example in silver plate. It's basically a Superba 1 in silver plate. It has rolled tone holes, the "JK" tube stamp, solid sheet guards, plastic pants guard, and the larger pearls (like Couf) that we see today on newer JKs.

Serial number #47k matches on the neck and body. YES - high F# on this model. It has a good repair done to the neck receiver area that looks more like a E3 post resolder or just silver wear. There are a few small dings and pings but not much.

TONE: Huge Keilwerth tone: warmer, rounder, more spread, full of harmonics. PADS: It arrived with a mix of older pads (about 3 or 4 eras) with the oldest ones being lower down the tube, as expected (B/Bb).

All are tan pads and most have plastic resonators. REBUILD: not needed, but you can request such. CASE: This listing is for the original, green case in fair/rough(inside) condition.

However, you would likely prefer an upgraded. (It is a molded hard case with storage and shoulder strap). We can discuss a discounted, package price on this option. But this listing is for the green, original case. The item "Keilwerth 1965 Tone King Special, Tenor Sax, SILVER, #53k High F#, = Superba 1" is in sale since Wednesday, January 8, 2020.
