    I purchased what seems to be a True Tone in near mint condition (photos below) probably hardly used in its 100 years existence. It has no hits or dents, and no play in the keys. The gold plating looks amazing and where it's gone one can see the silver plating. Moreover, it has a very elaborate...

    I own a 1923 True Tone alto. It's an early enough model that it doesn't have the roller g# mechanism, but it also doesn't have any sort of marking on the neck - no numbers or *s anywhere to be found. I have owned other True Tones in the past but I haven't had the chance to play this particular...

    Hi, I was wondering if the lacquer on this Buescher Aristocrat alto is original. If it is, it looks like it's barely been used! Also, what model is this? I know it's an Aristocrat but there are different types of Aristocrat altos. Thanks! :)

    Hi all - new to the site and apologies if I'm not dropping this in the right forum thread ... I've finally decided to sell my alto sax and unsure about where best to do this and pricing it. So, I'm not trying to pitch it here, just looking for good guidance. I'm 50+ now and when I was 13...

    Hi all! I just wanted to make a quick post about my new (to me) 1941 buescher big b alto sax for anyone who wants information if your looking to buy one or whatever the case may be. I just bought this saxophone on ebay having never touched a big b before in my life but oh boy do I have thoughts...

    Hello all - Yes this is another "is my horn relacquered or original" thread, but before you direct me to the searchbar, let me give the disclaimer that I have done a good amount of research on past threads and non-SOTW resources regarding this, and I'm still having a hard time solving this one...
  7. Bb Soprano
    I’ve been saving to buy a new soprano for a few months, hoping to buy a Yamaha Custom EX. Right now I am on a trip, so I decided to check if there were any used sopranos in the area that would be cheaper than buying a brand new sax, and I came across a Gold Plated Buescher True Tone straight...
  8. Misc. Saxophone Discussion
    Hello, I'm looking for a replacement neck for my Buescher aristocrat series 3 alto sax. Does a neck from a Buescher 20a will fit and sound the same? If not do you have a suggestion? Thanks!
  9. Buescher
    Hello! is there someone who could help me identify the model and year of this buescher alto? Is it from before or after Selmer bought the company? Thanks 🙂

    Hey Buescher buds! I've been happily playing my Big B Tenor for 8 or 9 years now and am still as in love with it as when I first got it. The past five years I have been having this issue where two or three times a year I'll take my horn out to play and G# will not budge- it will be super sludgy...
  11. Buescher
    Fellow saxwomen and saxmen, I had the good fortune (maybe) of coming across a Buescher Big B tenor at a garage sale for $150. I had to check the serial number on a chart just to be sure it was an Aristocrat III (SN# 306011). It is difficult to make out most of the engraving due to serious...
  12. Bb Tenor
    Hi SOTW gang! I've recently bought a 1940s Buescher TH&C and on the whole I'm very much a fan of it - especially the sound. But I've been having problems with the left hand pinky keys (who doesn't) - its not actually the vintage layout but the sheer weight of the C# key. Interestingly enough...

    I recently purchased a beautiful Supertone Bandmaster (what a cool name!!) vintage silver-plated alto saxophone on Reverb. I have been researching this stencil but have mostly found information about Conn and Martin made stencils under this name. I have only seen one other one that looks like...
