Funky, I like the silver keys on brass body. It probably has soul. Keep it.

I recently bought a 1970's era Buescher Aristocrat which is essentially the same horn. The feedback I got back on the SOTW forum is that if it's in good condition it is a decent student sax but no more than that. It (my Aristocrat) is nowhere near the quality of the Bueschers from 1950 or earlier. The 1970's Buescher Aristocrat and Bundy are based on an earlier Buescher design but not made with the same materials or workmanship. From what I've been told still in all it should be a decent sounding horn. The phrase I keep seeing is "built like tanks" so it sounds like a rugged construction. I really don't have a lot of experience with the sax nor do I have exposure to a lot of sax players so I really can't give you a comparision of the tone to any other horn. But for me, I just play for my own enjoyment and this horn seems to fit the bill. It's not a classic but I like it and that's all that really matters.

I liked them, too. That might be half the reason I got (the other half being that it was cheap). But thanks for the input!crazydaisydoo said:

Its the fleshy thing attached to the horn that should be rated.
Charlie Parker sounded great on a plastic Grafton, and they are rather strange to play.
Even a well set up Bundy II can sound alright...its the player making 95% of the difference.
