(Helen) I am not at all clear that this alto was made by MK. The key guards are way more modern than anything I have seen from him before.
They only thing that says "Max Keilwerth" is the Pure Tone Trade Mark MP that would have come with a MK saxophone.
I wonder if this may not have been a JK-made or inspired horn. Or something made through Heimarbeit?
Hopefully we will find more of this brand in the future and the origin of this horn will be answered.
