Buescher Soprano help please?
Hi, This is a great site. My dad was a musician and would have loved all this site. He died in 1988 at 78. I am just now able to part with his sax collection. Had hoped the kids might play, but got a great pianist and a great flutist instead of sax players! I thought I would start with research on the soprano. It is a Buescher Straight Soprano 193866, Low Pitch True Tone. Does that make it a Bb? It is completely gold in color, but is that brass? Brown pads, and pearl coverings on some keys. Still has original mouthpiece I think. There are spots on the finish and I am not certain how to describe these? Has original case, but it smells old. What should I look for on it as to plus/minuses regarding condition? Any advice, insight would be thoroughly appreciated. Thank you!
