Yanagisawa also made Vito and Whitehall
Do you have photos of this horn? For all the talk of JK making La Sete stencils, I cannot find one that wasn't made by D&J.I have a Keilwerth Tone King stamped "La Sete".
Your Vito, does it have the domed key cups we associate with King saxes? Happen to have a couple of pics you could fire off to me. I'm curious, since King made so few stencils. I'd appreciate it. I won't use them in my gallery, I'd just like to see them for myself.
Can do. I'll sort it out tomorrow.Do you have photos of this horn? For all the talk of JK making La Sete stencils, I cannot find one that wasn't made by D&J.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Orsi made sopranino, bass and contrabass for"LA Sax".
Kohlert Grazlitz made "Star".
Keilwerth (Nauheim) made "Wikena".
the list can be very, very long.
I didn't spot Weltclang in the list of manufacturers,I have a Dearman Superior which I believe is a Weltclang stencil
If I may add a couple of entries here.
If you look at this older thread, there are details about my Renoux Super Rex alto that is obviously a Robert Drouet. Small french manufacturer that's being reffered to in more details here.
Renoux Super Rex (Bourges - France) => Robert Drouet
I also have a Robert Martin Tenor made by Maurice Boiste. Here is a discussion about Boiste with a few pics.
Amati also made the "B&H 400", Yanagisawa also made Vito and Whitehall
I'm sure I'll think of more!
and "Martin" (modell 880).
Star was certainly one of the Kohlert brands/models. Many said Kohlert on the sax as well - iterations of Kohlert & Sons in the language of the country the sax was made for. I've seen this in Czech, German and French. I've not seen anything to give meaning to the different model/brand names, though. I have two, one with VKS key guards branded Popular. The other branded Star with wire guards.Funny you mention Star under Kohlert, I have a bunch of Star horns that I haven't ID'd yet. Many are from FX Hüller, but others? Interesting...
Gerhard Keilwerth confirmed for 8 years ago that Keilwerth, Nauheim made the "Wikena" saxes. I wasn't shure?Never heard of the Wikena stencil for JK. Keilwerth just went crazy with the stencilling. Their list is getting nearly as long as that of the old B&S.
