The following information was kindly made available to me by Bridgitte Conrad of HohnerMusikinstrumente.(I contacted her at bconrad@hohner.de).She informed me that the company had little or no information regarding their manufacture of saxophones but she did send me an article on the subject (in German).I have been able to extract some information from the article but have insufficient knowledge of German to be able to decipher it completely, or to identify the source.So far the table of serial numbers seems to check out satisfactorily.
Write down the serial number of your accordion, located on the back of the instrument. Take two clear photographs of the front and back of your accordion. Attach the JPEG images of the accordion to your e- mail with a description of the instrument and serial number. A Hohner representative will respond with the model number.

Hohner “President”Saxophones
Hohner (1857–2007), well known for the manufacture of accordions and harmonicas, manufactured in Trossingen from 1949 to 1972 a range of Hohner “President” badged alto and tenor saxophones under the direction of Max Keilwerth (1898-1968).Other sources set the period of manufacture as 1948 to 1967; however the table below suggests that production in some form or other continued well after Max Kielwerth’s demise.
Much of the early data regarding the Keilwerth brothers Max and Julius (Julius being the elder of the two) is disjointed.Suffice it to say that apart from an indication that Max learnt his early skills within some form of local or ‘cottage’ industry, and subsequently joined at least Franz Than Graslitz/Sudetenland, F.X. HüllerGraslitzer and Amati as well as the Keilwerthcompanie/s.
It appears that Julius, his son Joseph and grandson Gerhart didn’t hold formal craftsmanship papers (Meisterbrief)as didMax.Max Kielwerth commenced at Hohner some time in the 1940’s however there are no records of the production for the factory and the information below is a compilation from various sources; the data supplied by Bridgitte Conrad being main source.
