Description
SOLD! This is a 1938 Buescher Aristocrat Series I tenor saxophone in pristine physical condition with a very well done fresh overhaul that retained all of the original Snap-on resonators. The lacquer is original, nearly flawless, and this horn appears to have sat in its original case for much of its life until very recently, when it had the good fortune to be overhauled very well by someone who obviously knows Bueschers.
These horns are known for their excellent intonation and rich, sweet tone- but they can also roar given the right mouthpiece, and they are quite mouthpiece friendly in my experience. The ergonomics are quite good, and when done well- as this overhaul was- they are light and slick under the fingers.
The engraving is the proper “art deco” style for this model, and like the rest of the horn is in exceptionally fine condition.
This is the nicest Aristocrat tenor I have ever seen, and it plays exceptionally well. This horn is in the shape you want, with an overhaul that is ready to play well for years from the moment you open the case. If you’ve been thinking of owning a pre-war Buescher Aristocrat tenor, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one.
