A member of SOTW, and a regular visitor on my site, sent me a 27 page catalogue of Julius Keilwerth instruments. Also included was a price list in DM. Very interesting... I'm not sure exactly what the exchange rate was in 1979, but IIRC, it was about about 2:1 in 1981, when I visited Canada. (1 DM = 2 Cdn $).
I have both pages of the price list digitized already, as well as 10 pages of the catalogue. (That is all the saxophone pages.) The rest of the instruments will be scanned & then tweaked in Photoshop in the coming week or so.
In the meantime, enjoy a trip down JK's saxophone past. A time when rolled tone holes were still real, rolled tone holes. When JK horns were still made in Nauheim, Germany. And when the Keilwerth family still owned the company.
Oh, I know we had a conversation about the Student Modell that JK had, and their Amati origins. These horns are actually illustrated and described on pages 3 & 4.
And yes, the text is in German. And no, I haven't provided any translations yet. I'll get around to it eventually.
