Vintage Buescher Silver Plate Straight Soprano Sax - Sidney Bechet Model: Serial # 197xxx  

Finish:

the original finish is nearly all intact with only some minor wear on the edges of the key-work and on some touch points, along with other minor surface blemishes - see photos;

 

Body:

the physical body is in very good condition, no dents and only the mildest ding or two; the bell rim has a couple spots that are slightly flattened (this is hardly noticeable); a few dings have been removed from the back of the body (again, this is not very noticeable); there is no sign of any solder repair; Pads: pads are not new but are in good condition, and the horn plays well (though may need some minor adjustment and regulation) ; new pads would be needed for the horn to play optimally;

the original Buescher Snap-ins are intact, however one or two are missing in the middle stack, and have been replaced with flat metal resonators;

Further: no mouthpiece; later period hard shell case functions well and is in excellent condition.

See all 20 photos below - just click on a photo to see an enlargement (photos are slightly magnified and make some blemishes appear larger than they actually are) . Please write with any questions (or call [phone number removed by eBay]).
