Hi, I hope this is the right place for some pics and a brief discussion about my sax..It was a the cheapest one I could find, and only just playable but I really wanted a vintage horn and did not have much cash.. Geoff Collins in Chelmsford got it playing, repairing dents and making a new bow guard ( the old one was snapped off).
I think it is probably an early Beuscher because it resembles the one in Dr Ricks pictures, and it has a Beuscher style serial and patent:

however, there are some parts which do not fit with pictures I have seen. It is my understanding that some of these saxes were assembled from differing parts during transitions between manufacturers..? I did a bit of research about a year ago, but forgot what I found out!
I know it looks rough, but it has a loveley tone, even though all the keywork is rather soft and bendy http://cierra.cc/wink.gif
