WHAT SAXPICS SAYS:  ( THX FOR THE GREAT SITE )

>Amati 1945 to 1947

Amati “nationalized” the Keilwerth and Kohlert plants immediately after WWII. Amati, however, generally used the Keilwerth design for their “new” horns. The Kohlert versions are somewhat redesigned VKS horns (most notable thing that’s different is the keyguards) and seem to have old VKS serial numbers.
I think that you can forward the argument — especially because of the late serial numbers on some Amati horns (which go into the Series III serials) — that the Amati Toneking was made with Keilwerth equipment for the most part, with some minor tooling changes for the neck.<

1 WHAT I SEE IS THEY ARE EXACT EXCEPT THE NECK OF THE ONE I HAVE FOR SALE
DOES NOT HAVE THE MICROTUNER ON NECK. SEE PIC I TOOK OF WHAT I PRINTED OUT
AND PUT NOTES ON.

2 THEY ARE THE SAME IN REGARDS TO
ROLLED TONE HOLES , ALTISSMO F# , HAS G# TRILL KEY , FOLLOWS KEILWERTH 
SERIAL NUMBERS.

3 THIS ONE HAS NEWER PADS ( I DON’T THINK THEY ARE ORIGINAL PADS BUT I AM NOT  TECH SEE PAD PICS ) BUT THE PERSON WHO PUT THEM ON IF THEY ARE NEWER DID NOT DO A GOOD JOB. THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT TYPES THEY NEED TO BE RESEATED AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS. I PLAYED IT AND THE LOWER REGISTER IS NOT PLAYING WELL. THE PADS COULD ALSO USE A BIT OF CLEANING THEY LOOK A BIT DIRTY.
SO IF YOU BUY THIS PLAN ON TAKING IT TO YOUR TECH AND HAVING SOME ADJUSTMENTS MADE. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE PAD I SEE THAT WAS REPLACED.

4 THE ORIGINAL LAC IS VERY NICE.  ENGRAVING NICE DETAILS.

5 VERY CLEAN IS THE JGK ” BEST IN THE WORLD LOGO “

6 THIS COMES WITH NO CASE AND NO MOUTHPIECE BUT WILL BE PROFEESIONALLY
PACKED AND INSURED
