Buescher 400 Tenor Sax S Full Cleaning And

The lacquer is not original, though it has not been overly buffed, and about half of the relacquer remains.

The original Snap-On resonators and amber rollers are present, and the horn is in pretty good physical condition.

It will need an overhaul, but it is a pretty solid sax with no major damage or dents, and the price is considerably less than most Top Hat Cane altos.

I really dont know how to convey to you that this horn will absolutely re-set the bar and benchmark for a Buesher Top Hat.

A local gentleman purchased this horn on September 6, 1956 for 550.

We know that because the horn comes to us through the family and the original receipt will be included with the horn.

The family knew that Dad had a horn, but had no memory of him playing it, or being a player.

We are happy now to offer it at no reserve, in hopes that it can be enjoyed by the right person.

Now Im going to get a little windy, but I want to try and answer your questions in advance.

The original mouthpiece, ligature, and cap are still on the neck and we are not going to pull it off.

The mouthpiece doesnt even have wear or scratches, it just needs cleaned up.

The lacquer, which is original, is 99 plus and fabulous on the entire horn.

It has all of the original snap-in pads and Gold Plated Norton springs with virtually no wear anywhere.

In order to preserve its originality and insure that the high bidder is the second owner, we are not going to play it or mess with it in any way.

Assume that it will need a full cleaning and set-up prior to playing, but we honestly doubt it needs a thing.

P.S. after I settled down a little bit, I took the horn and studied every inch of it.

They are very small and I might even have to point them out to you.

This is all I can find that separates this horn from looking factory new and trust me Im picky.
