Buescher True-Tone Alto
I recently obtained this Buescher True Tone Alto circa 1922-1924. It is a low pitch model in need of a total restoration. I will update the entries on this with pictures as I work on it. I have not attempted any disassembly yet as I wanted to document its condition before I did so.
More pictures in the extended entry. . .
As you will see from this picture, someone shoved a mouthpiece or something on this poor workhorse and couldn't get it off. They ended up breaking the mouthpiece and leaving the shank. I will probably have to take a saw to this.
