Hi everyone,
I recently bought a Keilwerth 'The New King' baritone at an auction.
The serial nr. is in the 34,xxx range, so it must be from '59, if I'm not mistaken.
Here's a pic:
It does have it's dings and dents, and I had to adjust some of the keys, but now it plays fine and sounds great.
The only things that are missing are the Eb key guard (someone replaced it with a strip of sheet metal...):
And the clothes guard, including the rods:
Does anyone know where to find replacements for these missing guards?
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Wim
