Typically 6M flexible pitch center, even scale.
Voice, response: typical pre-war 6M - full, thick core, broad dynamic range Sold! Thank you, MC!įinish: relacquered, probably 1970s or 1980s – very clean but certainly machine buffed. There aren’t a lot around any more in this condition. The only meaningful cosmetic drawback is some old soldering work around the Eb tonehole (will be illustrated in the photos to come), and light pinging around the bow (also to be attentively illustrated in photos to some). This horn personifies (hornifies?) “all original,” from its true double socket “VIII” neck to its original rollers. This is a very well-preserved, top shelf 6M, fully-overhauled and like a new horn (though it is probably tighter than when it left the Conn factory 75 years ago, as they don’t seem to have been that tight when they left). Intonation: Excellent, above average for the model and vintage Voice, response: Smooth response, accurate and predictable (in a good way). Overall condition: Very good to excellent, fully and newly overhauled with flat Pisoni one click below absolute max-sized. $1795 – sold – thank you EA!įinish: Original lacquer, very good to excellent

Excellent choice for a studio or professional musician who is not married to the rocking Bb design. Buffets were once a go-to choice and this alto shows why: full, round voice with very accurate intonation, sounds great through a mic, none of the nasal qualities that the alto slightly retains. I don’t play much alto, or I’d likely keep both this and the Couf above. If I didn’t have the NOS line and the Schucht necks.
I don’t play much alto, generally, so it’s easier to just stick with JS NOS altos when I do want to practice or study on alto. I would keep this if I didn’t constantly have new JS New Ol Skool altos to play. Voice, response: full, brilliant, mature, round, defined voice without being nasal.

Overall condition: cosmetically, good mechanically excellent, full new overhaul with very large brown nylon - not my normal choice for most horns, but I have found that the core of the sound on both Buffet SD altos and tenors comes forward and fills out beautifully with this set-up, so that’s what I put in. Original goldplated wire springs in very good condition. Rough condition on lacquer, as this came from a wet/salt environment.

NEW! Buffet SuperDynaction Alto Serial number 13,4xx Circa 1966įinish: original lacquer (but no black paint in the body-bell brace logo, and not “sparkle lacquer”). (photo placeholder) – No longer for sale – As soon as I complete another alto overhaul, to list in this one’s place, this listing will come down. After listing it, I played it more and am basically planning to keep it, but since it’s already written up the price is “part with.” For the right person (including me, I just don’t play much alto, this is a get married forever horn). If you have a very well preserved S1 that you already love, this is an ideal partner to it that may well outplay it. That person already knows whom he/she is. Not totally happy with it yet, but am fine-tuning, still Intonation: very good, typical for the era and this period in Keilwerth altos. Voice, response: exceptional dynamic range, from wide, warm, mellow and husky to soaring and powerful, punchy and guts to spare classic vintage Keilwerth from arguably the best part of their production history. Complete, new overhaul, in final adjustment phase, now. Overall condition: cosmetics just OK, performance exceptional. NEW! Couf Superba I Alto (Serial number & photos to be added here soon) – new alto listings coming within next 2 weeks –įinish: original lacquer is rough but appropriate for “player’s horn” (looks not so pretty, plays exceptionally well)
