At the risk of inducing a narcoleptic attack<\/a> in some of my readers again, \ud83d\ude09  … I’d like to share some very interesting news and photos with you D\u00f6rfler & J\u00f6rka enthusiasts out there. At least I think there are some of you out there. I can’t be all alone… Can I? \ud83d\ude2e  \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n

All kidding aside, I get a lot of traffic on my site from people looking for information about these formerly obscure, vintage German saxophones, which are patterned after the J. Keilwerth Tonekings. When I bought my D&J 2 years ago, they were virtually unknown, with only a few mentions, and almost no photos on the ‘Net. What a difference 24 months make.<\/p>\n

Over the past 24 months I have done a lot of research myself. In addition, I have partnered with German saxophone historian, author, saxophonist, and repair tech Uwe Ladwig<\/a>, to write the English language history of D\u00f6rfler & J\u00f6rka.<\/p>\n

I continue to compile as much information about the various D&J stencil saxophones as I can, and as new stencil names pop up and new findings arise, I update the D\u00f6rfler & J\u00f6rka page <\/a>on the main portion of my site.<\/p>\n

This is why the D&J-stencilled Ravoy I was recently contacted about is important: It shows a very interesting progression in the evolution of this saxophone company’s designs that had not been documented before.<\/p>\n
