    Buesher Aristocrat, basically the same horn as a Selmer Bundy I.  Common student horn.

      thanks a lot for your help 
      i was thinking of buying this one
      is the the student models worth 1/4 , 1/3, 1/2, ...3/4?  of a real 
      model (say the selmer bundy ll )
      any idea of how they are made differently ?
      i dont see many student models for sale do they wear out sooner?
      thanks again

        The Selmer Bundy II is just a later student model.  The Selmer Bundy I/Buescher Aristocrat model produced in the 1960s is plenty robust and simple.  If you get one that hasn't been damaged by abuse it should serve you well.  They are also dirt cheap and easy to find.  My only caution would be that some questionable features like nonstandard pads were tried in the 1970s.

        The Yamaha model 21 and 23 horns are also good student horns that are very easy to find used.
