Saxophones Melissa's Keilworth

[Melissa]

How long IS a Sarf Landon Week BTW ? , Three North of watford months and counting so far .

£250 for a refurbed Pan-Am and not sold ? ....... Wow .

Times are hard, I am sure, just been offered £300 for my Keilwerth.. like, I don't think so, it owes me more than that!
Wish I could help you out. can't some one buy this on the forum, sounds like a bargain horn to me!

I think the issues with the Keilwerth are
1:- it`s not got Keilwerth on it (you have to be in the know, well to know)
2:- it`s in need of a full refurb which would cost an unknown amount to put it right after dunking £500 for it
3:- it`s far from mint when its done (doesn`t matter with a Yam but to some will for a vintage)
4:- they`ll wonder why you haven`t done it ..

I`m not saying it`s only worth £300 but you can see why people are hesitant

Hi Ads, I disbelieve it would cost me more than £320, well if I leave it in your "rat look so to speak., I suppose you could strip the lacquer but then on something like this, it would probably depreciate it's value? Not sure? I heard most do not like relacs on vintage horns?

I have done it just out of curiosity to see if it would sell as is, I am 90% sure I am going to have it done anyhow.

Plus the low offer is from the well known sax dealer, accessories1- aka, shrekthakimi, suresh whatever, fractured.figure and several other usernames.

Regards Keilwerth not being stamped on it: does this not account for JK?

I`ve no dounts about the horn because I would trust you , recognised the form of the design even without seeing the logo but E-Bayers are wary at the best of times and don`t have Cafe insider knowledge . there are loads of people cracking on that horns are something they aren`t - I know You would never do that as I hope all here do but you`re average suspicious cynical Fleabayer doesn `t know you from Adam ..

so sweet of you I do understand, especially re the "average suspicious cynical Fleabayer" But you know what, you have a really good idea there. I could add a link for the cafe' on the listings and get all sax maniacs to join, increased donations, and perhaps we all may be more successful on the yard sale

You think so?! Scarey! perhaps not such a good idea after all! Not every one is bad, well only the cafe' people are nice

I'd love the Keilwerth. Unfortunately we're seriously skint at the moment - and I've already got a Shadow and a 20 year old German built EX90 so I really don't need another that I know will be further away from the sound I want (but probably closer to most other people's ideal). If I could justify the dosh I'd probably use it for jams.

Er, sorry - this was about Pan Am altos. Very nice I'm sure. If you like that sort of thing. I seem to recall I used to have a Pan Am baritone (memory's a bit hazy). Basic but fine.
