Does anybody know something about saxes called "Hohner President"?
When were they made? Student models or pros? What is its worth if in good
condition?
Greetings
Andy

Das Hohner Saxophon wurde in Deutschland hergestellt als ich drueben bei der
amerikanischen Armee war. Das war 1967-69. Ein Freund von mir besass ein
Hohner Alt-Saxophone welches versilbert war und ziemlich ordentlich spielte.
Mehr kann ich aber nicht darueber erzaehlen. Damals besass ich ein Voss
Alt-Saxophone, hergestellt in Ost-Deutschland, wahrscheinlich von der selben
Fabrik die heute B&S heisst. Ich kaufte das saxophone beim Wurlitzer
Musikgeschaeft in Cincinnati (ca. 1965), gerade um die Ecke von dem heutigen
"Blue Wisp."

Some Hohner Presidents were made by Keilwerth. I tried a nickel plated
alto that looked great and like it was well made. It had rolled tone
holes. However when I play tested it (had a fresh overhaul) I had a
hard time playing altisimmo register and the low C was about a quarter
tone sharp as compared to playing middle C. I wanted to really like the
horn because the price seemed nice but alas I walked away from the
pretty , flashy out of tune alto and went home and wailed with
contentment on my no lacquer great playing Pan-American.
