The 1940s Buescher Saxophone is a classic piece of brass music instrument manufactured in the United States. With a brass construction and brass lacquer finishing, this saxophone exudes a vintage charm and timeless elegance. The Buescher brand is well-known for producing high-quality instruments, making this saxophone a sought-after choice for musicians and collectors alike who appreciate its craftsmanship and historical significance. I took this sax to a repair shop. They said it would be about $500-600 to replace the pads and some other work to get it into playing condition. Vintage Selmer soloist C s mouthpiece included. This mouthpiece alone itself sales for as much as $950.
