I just noticed this http://www.ebay.com/itm/13059021523...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

In the last picture it sure looks like a bevel on the bell key tone holes.

Comments?

trick of the light, no bevel in my opinion

That must be some pretty bizarre lighting because the first picture looks the same. The last just shows it closer.

It's a perspective trick.
Om the shot of the low Bb tone hole - the dark area on the tone hole is the leading edge - the lighter section, which looks like a bevel, is the interior of the trailing edge.

Thank you. You are certainly correct. After finding the tenor earlier this year with soldered tone holes I'm ready to believe almost anything about what Buescher may have done.

In this case it's a visual artifact as the guys already stated.

Click on the zoom feature and you can see the inside of the tone hole.
