Very nice Buescher Aristocrat Series II “Big B” Silver Plated Eb Alto on offer with serial number 329XXX, dating the horn to 1950. The horn is in excellent physical and playing condition, with plenty of silver plating wear present throughout the horn. Please budget to adjust the horn to individual playing taste (if desired) but the horn is ready to play right out of the box from low Bb to High F. The body is in good shape and includes most if not all of the original plated norton screw-in springs. The neck shows evidence of past ding repair but no pull down is evident. Both end of the neck are in very good shape and the body/neck form a nice tight, proper bond. The Big B’s pads are very good sealing black roo pads finished with flat silver resonators, not the original snap on resonators.

Very nice, huge playing, original lacquer Buescher 400 “Top Hat & Cane” Alto Saxophone with nice, sharp engraving on offer. Please note the “obscured” number (SN:333885-probably). The engraving, raised “Buescher” logo and silver tone ring are all in excellent condition. I do not see any obvious evidence of re-soldered post/keywork or toneholes. There are no major dings or dents to speak of on the neck or body of the saxophone. The original lacquer is in ok condition with about 65% overall remaining coverage on the body and maybe 30% on the neck. The horn plays from top to bottom with good action on older pads but could use an adjustment and cleaning. Please budget for tuning to individual taste.
