The saxophone guru GRANT KELLER (saxophone soloist, jazz artist, professor of music, and saxophone columnist, calls the BUESCHER "TRUE TONE alto: "...the finest saxophones ever made", and I couldn't agree with him more. This is a very fine gold lacquered BUESHER "TRUE TONE" alto saxophone in great condition. It is a 1927, serial number 197113 instrument with excellent, almost new pads (photos 4 and 5).
The gold lacquer finish is over 95% intact, and it presents a lovely hand etched engraving (photo 10). Further, this beauty comes with its original case which is in solid condition, but worn around the edges, Now for the great part. The instrument has been evaluated, adjusted, set up and test played by award winning master saxophone technician Russ Ackerman (the sax Gourmet has named Russ as one of the top saxophone technicians in the USA. See the master at work, (photo #1.) "Russ reports "this baby is great...big sound...she whispers cries, talks, and screams... a real winner...nice horn"
