: Unfortunately, your Buescher BU-3 is a VERY inexpensive Chinese-made (maybe Taiwanese - not sure about that) saxophone. It is not associated with the great instruments of the past made by Buescher of Elkhart, Indiana.
I've only seen one BU-3 and I didn't even try to play it because it looked so poorly made. Maybe they've improved since the one I saw a few years ago.
I don't mean to rain on your parade - maybe yours will play decently enough, but that's my opinion of them. I hope it is better - and that you enjoy it. DAVE
