Buescher 1955 ‘Aristocrat II – Big B’ Eb Baritone, #351,413

1955 Buescher "Big B" Bari

(ON CONSIGNMENT - Plays: __Good/TBD__)

A previous WWS Rebuild (Chadd in 2011) with buescher snap-in pads,

Finish: Original Lacquer at 40%.

The Big Bs are famous for a BIG warm sound with rich & creamy low notes--resonant low end the fills the room, probably due to some help from the big bell flare. Mid-range gets a little thin but the low notes make up for it. These fit very well in jazz or concert bands. Intonation is pretty good all-round, C# is non-articulated, but my biggest complainant on the model is the lack of pants-guard on the backside. Beyond that, the Big B Baritones have a cult following who seek that fat warm sound.

CASE: A upgraded Protec Propac ($$$)
