If the Buescher is an Aristocrat, they're pretty good horns; not student model. The post Selmer models (1964 and later) are not as good as the earlier models. This Buescher, if in good condition, is a far better horn than the cheap Blessing and Woodwind saxophones that are made in China. If you were to upgrade into a better saxophone, I would suggest one of the new Yamaha 62 Series II's. That's probably your best buy in an intermediate -pro level horn. To get a better sax than the Buescher, you're going to pay $2000 or more. If you look on ebay, the vintage horns like your Buescher are selling for more than brand new Blessing and Woodwind saxophones
