SOLD $1800.00 (Priced to go fast) - #285k, prior WWS rebuild from a few years ago but didn't receive much playing time. Finish: Original Lacquer. Comes with original Conn Case is good shape.
Buescher 1967 ‘Buescher 400’ Bb Tenor, #420k
$1899.00 - This is a nice 400 model made about a year after the Selmer takeover ser. # 420,xxx. The finish is original and to me, looks very handsome. It has the same body, neck with underslung octave mechanism and keywork as the famous older brother the "Top Hat" model, but with nickel plated keys. Buescher still made great 400's through the sixties, this one was made appx. 1967. It has a warm centered tone, but can be pushed hard with a metal mouthpiece. The Lacquer is original and about 85%, but the neck and the inside of the bell are nearly worn to bare brass. I plan burnish out a few dents and to do a complete Buescher style rebuild. These are some of the most undervalued horns on the vintage market. Ready to Go! (ask me about my available cases to pair with it)

Buescher 1948 ‘Aristocrat II – Big B’ Eb Alto, #325k (Archived)
SOLD - Here's the warmth and power combined! This is a very good player! 325xxx... no snaps (negative to a collector--does not hurt the playing) but great pads with plastic resos, Original finish (some might argue this by looking at the engraving. It is my opinion that the bell was worn with hands and re-buffed--see how the edges are still deeply cut; this verifies more original). CASE: TBD--I'll find a nice upgrade to go with it. This one will get fully tuned up to play even better, smoother, oiled and you're going to make your band-mates jealous!
