hello, I'm Michael from Polish. I have a request. Write me what is the exact difference between the old American system as Buescher, a new French? I'll be very grateful for the help. Is it difficult? Is severely is to learn this system? Please write.
Greetings
Michael

Yet another True Tone saved! THANK YOU FOR THAT.
I have the same horn. 1924-25 more like it. Restored it, repadded it. Now it's the best of my 4 altos. Impeccible craftsmanship and plays like it was built yesterday. Of course, I have a bit of a Buescher bias: 1 alto, 1 tenor, 2 C Melodys....

Old instruments are cool. You can almost feel the energy stored in them.

I love all instruments as well. Great find!
Sending you a smile!

1914 is the year the automatic octave key was patented. That was imprinted on every saxophone for many years afterward.

It probably wasn't made in 1914.If you look at the top stack,it looks like there is a front f key.And it looks like it has pearl finger buttons on the keys.Both of these features point to it being a tru-tone from about the 1920's or later.1914 is probaly the patent for the drawn straight tone holes.Conn used this patent as well on the Wonder improved models.
