This is a Special Sale from WorldwideSax.com:

NOTES:  Here we go! I am biased toward loving Keilwerths... 

With the great JK WING-KEYGUARD (metal) and with Ser#25,9xx, JK dating dates it to the mid 50s, 

Overall the horn is good shape. It has had a few player upgrades and alterations (Selmer thumbrest!, 

pants guard replaced).  It is original deep honey lacquer at 75%.  It arrived with some pretty nice 

pads. I'll inspect the whole sax and I'll be sure she's able to rock and blow the doors down. 

SOUND: JK is known for full body, and spread harmonics.

      REPAIRS/Modifications: You can see a few repairs or modification to the sax. 1) the pants guard 

added(ask me about gold plating this to match the front guard), 2) the bell guard being the brighter gold 

(read on), 3) the octave thumb rest was moved to the side for better comfort while seated(I approve this 

move), 4) the thumbrest replaced into a Selmer hook. (I believe the original thumb hook, like a Martin size, 

is still in the case).

GOOD UPDATE****The thumbrest (octave) was since moved closer to the original spot for an in-shop visit. 

    CASE: it comes in an early Protec model, which is a molded wrap, with a fake leather stitch over a hard 

case mold. Works well in good condition.

    COOL STORY: It's a rare treat to have been taught by The Sarge (father of WWS). I studied his efforts so 

well that I can recognize his work. I was shocked on arrival because I could see it!!! This was worked on by 

Sarge! It received his Premium Rebuild with extra special green ultra suede and teflon linkages. It was too 

wild of a coincidence not to check in with the owner I got this from. He had to verify with another fellow prior. 

YEP. Sure enough, it was.  I can almost remember Sarge talking about this sax and goldplating the bell guard!    

Although I can date the rebuild to roughly 8-9years ago, the sax arrived playing great with an "A-" grade and 

the pads showing little use. Talk about how good Sarge's work was!  How's your sax doing after 8 years?  I 

will give the sax a full tune up, and adjustment, and ensure she's at an A+ grade.
