Eh, I believe the story on these Hohners was that they were designed by one of the Keilwerth brothers (Max?), but not turned out by a JK factory..... They do however seem to be very solidly built horns.

This is a Richard Keilwerth modell from the late 60.
It has a full tone, but intonation is a could be little bit a problem.
When you only search a instrument with a very full tone, than buy it.
The instrument looks great. Solid built and with rolled tone holes.
It plays like the other keilwerths and amatis befor 1965 .
