These are most likely mid to late 1960s instruments.ģ) Most (if not all) Buescher trumpets that have the 'ELK' logo have a separate serial number listing. These obviously are NOT subject to this serial number chart. Selmer must have done a serial number 'reset' at some point.Ģ) I have also noticed some of the 1960s 'Side Scroller' and possibly 'Top Scroller' logoed trumpets/cornets that have serial numbers in the 100,000 range. Most seem to have the 'Upsidedown Nike' Bell Logo and are model BU-7. Some of the modern Buescher labeled trumpets from the 1970-present that have serial numbers that do not correspond to this chart. Please note that there are a FEW exceptions to this chart. so I have listed BOTH numbers, I think the number MORE accurate would be 326000. *1950 Serial number is different on various sites. This tenor is rich and full of color. Bueschers like this tune well with a wide range of mouthpieces, and they can do anything from classical to jazz to R&B.About this time Selmer Purchased Buescher So many of the modern options I hear people playing are different flavors of bland and rather hollow-sounding. It has that classic American straight-ahead projection that fills a room whether you are amplified or not.

It would be pretty hard to sound bad on this tenor. It has a centered, warm tone with excellent response and intonation. This is extra work, but worth it to do right the first time.) (If you watch Matt Stohrer’s video on Buescher overhauls, you’ll see what I mean. It has the snaps and spuds intact, but has correct style ‘real’ pad work that works around the spuds. It is hard to find this desirable version of the vintage Buescher tenor in good shape, and this one is better than all but a few. That is now fixed, and the rest of the horn is quite nice.

The missing lacquer on the back of the bow doesn’t show when you play, and is from a small dent that was removed a bit to vigorously at some point. The keywork is in great condition – nice and tight.

This tenor just got a full mechanical overhaul, and I mean the works! When I got it, it had new pads, but the pad work was not that good, so now it has a really great overhaul and plays excellently. It’s one of the most beautiful vintage Bueschers, with extensive engraving and gorgeously translucent, dark nitrocellulose lacquer. This is an original lacquer Buescher Aristocrat Big B tenor with the desirable small bell. Price JUST reduced mid May 2020! This is an excellent deal!
