Buescher Alto

Another client horn, but this one is from the late 1920’s. I’m a sucker for older Bueschers, and this one cleaned up really well. It needed quite a bit of work and a complete disassembly so I took the opportunity to shine it up. That silver plate against the gold washed bell looks soooo nice!!

Bundy Tenor

Bundy Tenor
A client brought this old Bundy tenor in for a tune-up. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much, because …..well….it’s a Bundy. It’s hard to nail down a date on this one, but I believe it is from the late 1940’s or 50’s. The client had removed the lacquer on the bell and I kind of like the patina. What really shocked me about this horn was how it played. It was really free blowing and had a massive sound, especially down low. I have to say, if I played tenor regularly I would consider this one as my main horn!!

Holton Trumpet

Holton Trumpet
This is a before and after picture of an older Holton ST550 trumpet from my inventory that I think is from the late 1970’s or 80’s. They were billed as intermediate horns, but play as well as a pro horn. When I first pulled it out of the case it was a little beat up. A little dent work later and I think it turned out pretty well. My wife played this one, and it sounded as good as her Benge trumpet. Now it looks as good as it sounds!
