Notes on this instrument

A truly wonderful instrument, in it is such great condition! It was expertly overhauled by Nico Bodewes in Amsterdam. It is setup exactly the same way as my other Buescher Aristocrat I tenor. This saxophone is my backup instrument for my work in the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet. In the gallery you can see a picture of the bell how it looked before the overhaul.

It’s interesting to compare the lacquered Aristocrat and this silver plated one. It feels to me like this silver one has a bit more projection, but the lacquered one has a good bit more flexibility.
