Is this a tenor or a C Melody? Looks like a c melody to me with the long bell and shape of the neck. What do you guys say?

Looks like a C, but the picture comes in so tiny I can hardly see it.

Looks like a C to me too. Also there were tons of Buescher C melodies made and many on ebay whereas the tenors are pretty uncommon. Look at saxpics at some TTs and see how they look. One difference as I recall is the fork F$ is mounted differently.

For you comparison needs. The picture you posted is to small.

Ask the seller how long it is without the neck. 20-1/2 alto 29" tenor.
C Mel is between those at around 24"

That's what I thought too. Sorry for the small pic. Thanks for responding.

Well, it doesn't have the spoon alternate F#. Has the one with the mechanism wrapped around the thumb rest area of the horn. Some later C melody Bueschers over 200K serial number range may have the spoon alternate key, but the early ones all had that side thing going. So I'm gonna say C melody.
