Re: Some words about a Buescher Aristocrat Alto?
The Buescher Aristocrat is one of the best vintage saxes out there. Great sound. If you want to know how a Buescher Aristocrat sounds, listen to Johnny Hodges. Very pure tone. Great for both jazz and classical playing.
However, before you give it to your friend, check it to make sure all the parts are there. As it's in a flea market, it will be a good buy, but you have to be sure of its general condition, so that at the very least, a good tech can make the necessary adjustments and replace any pads if necessary.
