VINTAGE KEILWERTH H COUF ROYALIST TENOR SAXOPHONE & D’ADDARIO MARBLE MPC! S/N 683XX, MADE IN GERMANY FOR HERBERT COUF, HEAVY RED BRASS (SEE PHOTOS), THIS IS A MONSTER TENOR!!! ACCORDING TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER, THE D'ADDARIO MARBLE MOUTHIECE WAS REFACED TO A .130 TIP OPENING, AND IT SOUNDS POWERFUL AND GREAT! (I HAD A D'ADDARIO D7M MOUTHPIECE BEFORE, AND I DID NOT LIKE IT: THIS ONE IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY, SINCE IT HAS BEEN REFACED, AND IT IS A KNOCK-OUT!) THIS MONSTER TENOR DESERVES A RESTORATION; I CAN PLAY ALL OF THE NOTES, AND LOW Bb WILL RATTLE YOUR WALLS, HOWEVER IT IS NOT AS 'SMOOTH' AS YOU NEED IT TO BE FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES. I DID NOT TAKE IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THEY ARE CURRENTLY OVERLOADED, AND I HAVE HORNS BEING RESTORED THERE ALREADY... ALL USED ITEMS ARE SOLD AS-IS, NO RETURNS. A HERBERT COUF BIOGRAPHY: Herbert Couf was an American clarinetist, saxophonist, composer, music store owner, and instrument manufacturer executive. Born on February 15, 1920, in the Bronx, New York, he grew up in Atlantic City, New Jersey. He began studying clarinet at age 7 and joined the high school band by age 10. He studied with notable clarinetists Simeon Bellison and Robert McGinnis. Couf served in the U.S. Marines during World War II, rising to the rank of master technical sergeant and becoming the youngest bandmaster in the history of the Marine Corps. After his military service, he joined the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra and later the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, where he became friends with Leonard Bernstein. He was the principal clarinetist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Paul Paray until he retired to open Royal Music Center in Royal Oak, Michigan. Couf marketed H. Couf woodwind mouthpieces, saxophones, and clarinets, with his saxophones being made by the Julius Keilwerth company of West Germany and his clarinets by the Artley Company 1 2 . Couf also became Vice President of the W. T. Armstrong Company, Inc., a manufacturer of flutes, and later the conductor of the Royal Oak Concert Band.
