Other cup mouthpiece serial numbers are not available at this time.VTG BUESCHER USA ARISTOCRAT ALTO SAXOPHONE W/ Case NO RESERVE Powered by Item Description: BUESCHER USA ARISTOCRAT ALTO SAXOPHONE W/ Case This is a no. More reserve auction on a Buescher Alto Saxaphone. With normal signs of surface wear scratches and some areas of surface corrosion and one or two small dings. Maddenma said: No serial numbers on Buescher necks.This has not been played or serviced recently and will need servicing including pad replacement. They weren't manufactured in France and then shipped to the US for assembly, so no need. But the market isn’t driven by what is BETTER.Prior to the Aristocrats, several variations of the alto necks were available.
And Kings especially benefit from the association with Charlie Parker, particularly his custom Super 20 (which he didn’t even play on that long because he was constantly hocking his horns!).Īs players, I would make the argument that the Bueschers of that vintage are the better horns. Selmers have a mystique thanks largely to the (overinflated) reputation of the Mark VI. Depending on the tech, that could run several hundred dollars (Saxquest I believe you’re looking at $700, but they’re also one of the best in the business). This does cut into the money value of the horn.Īs you said in other comments, it needs work, possibly a full overhaul. The lacquer isn’t in the greatest condition.
While excellent horns, they’re not as desirable as the Big B which preceded it. Financially it’s not worth much, even though the Buescher Aristocrat is one of the best saxophones ever produced.
