Keilwerth 1966 ‘King Tempo’ Eb Baritone, Low A #58k (Archived)

SOLD - Looking for the "affordable Low A baritone"? This is the one we need to talk about! Serial #58xxx dates it to 1966-67, Original Lacquer at 75%. It arrived with a few newer pads and original hard case. (lighter version that the bulky things we usually have to haul. I like that.) This sax is a near identical match the other JK Stencils, like the HA Selmer Bundy in design; add a Low A and now you'll be pleasing all these bari players. Yeah Baby! These have pretty good ergonomics for the era and most any player can make it work for any size of hands.
Item #: WWS1SCE4.0E0.3211.6-980C
