King 1958 ‘Super 20’ Bb Tenor, #362k (Archived)
SOLD - Nice original lacquer super 20, with the Serial number 362,xxx dates it to roughly 1958. What I really love is the rich, big tone. Super 20's are more or less divided up into 3 categories, early, middle and late production, this one falls in the middle and has a great balance of sound. The King horns sure get my vote and I gig with them often. This one is yet to be rebuilt and will need such to be rockin'. No major dents to worry about; a few pings in the body or backside(some I removed before photos). The bell interior will be washed and treated to help remove the green during a rebuild here. Price includes a killer rebuild and I'd love to help you set it up to your liking. CASE: original King case (note: no end cap for tighter fit inside the case.)

Brilhart ‘Tonalin 4 – Custom 8*’ Tenor, 1960s/70s (RAC reface)- 0.100″
$189.00 - This one arrived on its deathbed. 🙁 but Bob is amazing; he saved it--tooth groove, tip repair and reface! Bob Carpenter refaced the tip to a 0.100" with a 23mm facing--"RAC". It is a longer facing that my normal so my embouchure had to adjust to this piece but after I paired with a happier reed, it came alive (rico plastic coated 2.5 of all things). There are no cracks to mention. These have a medium chamber with shallow side walls.

It Comes with original case in good shape AND a "Bari" brand mouthpiece($+70). You're talking $1200 at cost already into the sax!

Buescher 1920 ‘True Tone’ Eb Baritone, Silver Plate #96k(Archived)
SOLD - Here's another early TT model ser.#96k, in excellent 93% silver plate, light Goldwash bell (faded). Keyed to high Eb, thus no Front F key, no spit value either on this era, these old saxes are known for their woody tone. It's a buescher thing. If you want true vintage 20's (or earlier) tone, you have to get a buescher or conn. This sax did not have snap in pads. This frees up the new owner to customize the resos to your liking without being concerned about damaging the original body. CURRENT PADS: are newer with plastic resos. The neck looks ok too. Some resolders on the neck joints are present, the most silver wear is on the upper U-joint. Good, hard case.
