worthpoint beuscher 1929 tenor saxophone

Overall i'm very pleased with this purchase, i mean come on 5 bucks for a good sax is just. Put a couple of risers on the palm keys, problem solved.įinding a new case without paying a small fortune for it could be a challenge with the split bell design, oh well. The fork/alternate Eb tone hole has been deactivated as ive seen on others, what ever. to my surprise a cheap cheap chinese made metal clone of a metal selmer paris mpc played well on it, go figure. my dukoff d6 was so so, i dont think it likes this design and a metal runyon mpc.forget that one too. ehhh not so good, and then tried a ny meyer on it and that sounded ok, not a fan of plastic and hard rubber mpc's. got a vintage buescher mpc and played that on it. The first mpc i tried on it was a silver selmer paris *c mpc, (my favorite) sounded great. the connecting rods on the left side are laid out well and not so vulnerable as i find the sa80's design to be. You would think since it is built like a tank it would be heavy, but it's built post to body method,(i prefer) and i don't find it heavy at all. i find the octive key touch on top of the thumbrest much more comfortable and doesn't make my thumb sore like the SA80/mark 6 clones i have, and it's got 2 real pearls for thumbrest and octive instead of cheap plastic and bare brass thanks matt.Īs far as the ergonomics go, i adapted to it easy. What lead me to this particular sax was matt stoher's overview of it on youtube. some wear on side keys and a tonehole cover looks a little sad, but for the price who cares. The silver finish seems very durable, especially for 85 yrs. My first observation is this sax is a tank, the metal is really strong on the keywork, connecting rods and etc. thought i scored a good deal for a pro vintage sax. So, i took a chance and bought this sax off ebay, because it was in good shape and the seller made a pretty bold statement saying how well it played, and only payed $500.00 for it.
