Hi Kevin:
That probably explains why Keilworth no longer offers the copper saxophone.
I had called the WW & BW after seeing an add for a copper Keilworth. They
said that it was sold and was the last one because Keilworth wasn't going to
make it anymore. So I guess they just changed the name.
I don't know if you mentioned it already in another message, but what is the
approximate year of your Buffet?
Thanks for the info.
