does anybody know Willy Keilwerth clarinets? I have one, now, but know nothing about them are they decent instruments? How much is one worth? I know nothing about clarinets and just know it is a Böhm system Bb clarinet, other than that, I know nothing. Any Help?:?

Wood?? Silver Keys? Metal clarinet?? Some more info please my friend.

I know about Willi E. Coyote

could be one of the brothers of the Keilwerth gang

alright , I told you I didn't know my way around clarinets.....!
Wood, dark and heavy, no idea of the sort, I would guess it isn't ebony ( in spite of popular beliefs, I am aware that only the best clarinets are actually made of the stuff) but ....what do I know....? Nickel-silver keys, I'd guess again, seem well made, not too crude (I once glanced at Klingson clarinet that one was worse than this).

I thought of a minor or major Keilwerth brother, obviously, however Google gave no result at all....Ah! It says also Nauheim which is where Julius Keilwerth has the factory I believe.......

Never heard of "Willy" Keilwerth, but I know that Richard makes clarinets (all German-system as far as I know) and Julius makes saxophones.

Yes it seems incredible but I have had this clarinet in my hands (I have been trading for a soprano, but it is a long story....) it was positively inscribed Willy Keilwerth Nauheim ( which is the same place where the othe Keiwerth have the factory) in 2 places on the body.....misterious

There were three Keilwerth brothers, Julius (saxophones), Richard (still making clarinets) and Max (was the leader of the saxophone department of Hohner, brand "Hohner President"). I do not know a Willy. Perhaps you can ask Richard? (You will find him at google)
