Hi,
Just aquired a 297xxx 400 TH&C Buescher Tenor. ( 1941/1942?)
The original lacquer is very dark and at 90% or better. Everything appears original, case, snap ins, springs, Even has the factory maint. manual is with it.
Question....Where the lacquer has worn away to base metal, the color is silverish, not yelowish as my 341xxx Aristo. B156 tenor.
Does anyone know what alloy metals they used in those early years?
On my B156 Aristo. I can polish the bare metal and it pretty much blends in with remaing lacquer, not so on the 297xxx Tenor.
Not a big deal, just curious in the different metals used. Also, the 297xxx horn is heavier than the Aristro.
Thanks
