Keilwerth 1962 ‘H&A Selmer-Bundy’ Eb Baritone, Silver #44k (Archived)

1962 H&A Selmer Bundy (Keilwerth) Baritone

(On Consignment - rebuild elsewhere, Plays great!)

This sax was WWS inventory in the past, scouted for its potential after restoration. It was sold, work done elsewhere, and now returns to WWS to find another loving home.

The silver finish is rare and the look is impacting for this vintage 1960s bari in silver plate and the solid sheet keyguards and plastic pants guard design (keilwerth indicators). Ser. #44K dates it to about 1962. This model has good ergos compared with other vintage saxes. So when you're after good intonation, solid tone, and good ergos.... these are some of the best you can get for 1) under $3000, but #2) you'll have to give up the Low-A key desire.

The plastic pants guard went missing(all too common), so another tech solved that; the neck screw got replaced; there are a few resolders, but overall, "The sax was used, not thrashed" before the work, and the shiny sax now is about normal for baritones.

OPTIONS: If you want me to silver plate the pants guard and neck screw, I can do that work as added cost.

PADS/REBUILD: It was rebuild with all new pads with Nylon/plastic resos.

SOUND: The tone is medium warm with all the MIDs to add power and cover many genres. mid core bark and evenness; not completely resonant like a Buescher/Martin, but not as timid either.

CASE: upgraded to a Protec.

BONUS: Comes with Neotech hardness.

The owner was a pro player and found the metal Berg Larsen mouthpieces were a magical pairing for this sax - tone, intonations etc.
