THE TRUTH ABOUT KEILWERTH SAXOPHONES!!

 

The truth about Keilwerth Saxophones

 

My name is Al Maniscalco and as of October 2011, I am the Group Product Manager for Julius Keilwerth Saxophones. 

 

After reading numerous posts, questions, and comments with hearsay and unsubstantiated claims, I am writing to set the record straight about the current status of Julius Keilwerth Saxophones.  In the fall of 2010 Keilwerth was purchased by Buffet Crampon in an acquisition that included Schreiber Musical Instruments as well.  As of January 2012, Buffet Crampon has become Buffet Group which includes five manufacturing brands of woodwind and brass instruments – Buffet Crampon, Besson, Antoine Courtois, Julius Keilwerth, and Schreiber.
