Saxophones Amati Kraslice Alto

[azuka]

There is a ton of interesting history about Amati, Keilwerth and how WWII affected them. Amati at one time was producing such saxes, including the one I saw recently, and placing the famous Keilwerth bullseye trademark on the back declaring it to be the best in the world as shown with the attached photo. If you want to read this history you can find it on the bassic sax website.

Hi. Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but I'm a bit confused regarding these serial number charts as I have a soprano Super Classic with serial number 4597. Does anyone have an idea what year it might be from? Hope it's ok that this is my first post!

Hi, did you get any info? I have a soprano Super Classic with serial number 4634 !!! Should be close to yours...

@AudioSte If you click a members name you get an info panel. Fergus was last on the forum sept 2016 so an answer is unlikely.
Members come and go. Some stay a while some are just passing through.

Hello. I’m very sorry I never replied. I guess I got distracted. Are you still playing your Amati soprano? I never did figure out a year of manufacture. I also later bought a Toneking alto dating from around 1946. Again I’m very sorry I never replied last year and I hope you see this post.

@AudioSte there you go.

I’m glad to hear it. I’m still enjoying mine. And also my Toneking alto, except for some small tuning issues.
