Description

Wichita Band Instrument Company Wichita, Kansas A superb BEUSCHER ALTO, #210,122, MADE IN USA in 1928. ***** Restoration now completed....this beauty is ready for the most-particular player! Note please, the photo of the 8va key-touch, the thumb-rest and the strap-ring. NO wear anywhere. This one's a PERFECT TEN. Yes, we are 100% absolutely certain the GOLD plate is original. *** ALL pads and corks are new. *** Identical to the Buescher used by German / American concert artist SIGURD RASCHER (1907 - 2001). Do a YouTube search and hear what a real classical saxophone can do. Intonation is perfect. The low notes are NOT sharp. Use a VanDoren 2 1/3 or 3 on a modern Selmer mouthpiece and you'll be amazed at the warm and liquid tone-color. NOT a modern saxophone, but perfect for the Ibert Concerto or for classical sax quartet. We have no hesitation in recommending it to the most particular musician. *** Better than a new one? In OUR opinion, ABSOLUTELY!
