I'm speaking off the top of my head now, since I've never owned a horn older than the late '20s, but I wonder if the fact that it's a 1917 horn has anything to do with these problems. jjulian, a more recent vintage Buescher, say a '30s or '40s Aristocrat tenor, might suit you better.Grumps said:
Mouthpiece For 1917 Buescher
I'd like to be able to use my mint-condition 1917 Buescher tenor on gigs, but no matter which mouthpiece I use, I end up playing almost a half-step flat, and the low notes are suppressed. I'm aware that open-chambered mouthpieces work best on these saxes, but even the original Buescher mouthpiece that came with the horn gives me the same problems. Any ideas on a specific mouthpiece that would work? Thanks for your help.
