C-Melody Buddies,
Why should the alto, tenor, and bari get to have all the fun? Let's list the five best c-melodies brands we can think of. My list does not include a rank order as I consider that to be a matter of personal preference.
Buescher
Martin
Conn
King
Selmer
Holton could be included since it's my understanding that Frankie Trumbauer played a custom made one. Never the less, the brands I listed have a good reputation for overall best quality. As a general rule of thumb, the later the serial number the better.
