I have an old Buescher alto and these horns sounds really nice and bright like yours! Do the pads need replacing or are they typical Bueschers that never need a pad change? LOL.
Thanks for your comment. I think the brightness partially comes from my mouthpiece here, but it does seem to me that there's this mellow core with a bright top to it. Really interesting sound. These pads will eventually need replacing in the near future according to my tech. Some resonators are missing.
the buescher tenor 400 made between 1963 - 1966 are probably one of the most UNDERRATED horns of all time...Just my humble opinion...played in a few horn bands and one of the tenor players brought his 1963 400 to a gig and I was sooo impressed by that horn. His go to horn was a mark IV but i thought that Buescher 400 was so much warmer
Yeah, I wouldn't mind picking up one of those. This one is a bit later I believe. I had read someones opinion that the "magic" left when they switched sides with the bell keys. I can't attest to that, but I will say that this horn had a bit of magic. Very large sounding. Great for slow Gene Ammons style. Another "low-end" horn that is seldom mentioned that I have is a Martin Indiana. It's a later model in the line . It has a great sound for rock and blues. If you can find one to try let me know what you think . Thanks for your comment!
@@haysfordays ya the older Top Hat and Cane has the original slotted bell keys on the right side...but when Buescher sold to Selmer, Selmer made Buescher in the same factory with the same parts for the first 3 yrs...
Así exactamente como suena tengo uno y tiene un hermoso timbre con la boquilla adecuada
I like watching your left pinky slide around for the low notes, so smoove 🤩
Haha! Thanks.

@@ericburdand Selmer bought them in '63, correct? Thus the reason some people overlook them?
