I have a baritone saxophone as per the title, wondering what it is worth. No damage or bumps, plays beautifully.

Value?

Please show some pictures, if this a Keilwerth stencil it may be worth (in Europe but probably also in the US) somewhere around €1500 to €2000 depending on conditions

Indeed a Keilwerth Toneking IV stencil , value may be affcted by the state of the pads and the fact that you are doing a private sale.

Don’t underestimate the fact that shipping a large object like this is sometimes impossible via the ordinary channels

The instrument plays beautiful, just recently been serviced and re padded.

What would an estimate of what it would be worth? price for a quick sale??

 

[milandro]

I’ve provided my opinion on the price,

how quickly you will sell this depends on many things, but there are people looking exactly for this type of horn on the forum

Thank you for your help!

 

[milandro]

good luck, I have sold 3 of these and the only reason for me no to buy more is that shipping has proven a very difficult task or I would have had many more chances, they are great horns.

You should have privileges to sell here, if you find that you can’t you need to get in touch with an administrator or moderator

Again thanks for you help!!!

I bought one of these back in March and have to say that after some bench time it has turned out to be a fantastic horn.

What did you pay for it ? This one is in good condition and plays great.

$1500 is it's market value in US.

(€1500 = $1750, and that is a high price to ask for one of these on this side of the pond, particularly under the current life situation).

If you needed to unload it really fast, and IF...IF...the bell brace is NOT impacted into the body tube at all (a common bit of damage on these particularly)....it should sell within a week if you priced it at $1200.....

you HAVE to, of course, list it as "Vintage J. Keilwerth, Germany-made H&A Selmer Baritone Saxophone"

Given the recent overhaul (assuming all pads done and a quality job) I’d ask $2000 obo. If you don’t get any immediate bites you can reduce the asking price until it moves. You may need to look beyond SOTW and consider eBay (though not a fan) to reach a wider audience. With shipping baris can be dicey (very easily damaged in shipping) even when packed extremely well, I’d suggest giving people nearby priority! If the horn gets damaged in shipping, you’re pretty well screwed and end up paying shipping both ways and repairs to pay for before selling again. This happened to me at the end of last year and I ended up out of pocket $400!

I would rather not say what I paid but suffice it to say JayeLID is in the ballpark.
