The H. Couf Superba I alto saxophone, a true professional model built by Julius Keilwerth in Germany, is known for its rolled tone holes, rich craftsmanship and the unmistakably dark, powerful voice that made these horns legendary. This example is a very clean, vintage Superba I, with lots of shiny lacquer left - preserved better than most instruments of its era.
 
This is the same model Grover Washington Jr. played throughout the ’70s and ’80s, heard on countless iconic recordings. This horn is an exceptional find for anyone who appreciates the German‑made Keilwerth build quality. It’s a fantastic player with a resonant, flexible tone, quick response and that signature Superba depth. There are some small dings which don't affect the sound or playability of this sax and it comes complete with its original case.
 
Whether you’re a serious player looking for a lifetime horn or a collector searching for a standout example, this Superba I checks every box. It’s beautifully preserved, mechanically solid and musically inspiring. Stop by Melbourne, Florida (USA) to see for yourself. Thanks for looking! Trades are welcome.
