    Description

    Buescher New Aristocrat "NA" Alto Saxophone with newer pads and setup on offer. The NA retains the majority of its original gold plated Snap On resonators and majority of the original gold plated Norton Springs.
    The early SN 262,2XX NA alto comes with a 01 neck devoid of lacquer that fits the horn well--evidence of decently done past repair though some current dings/minor dimpling are present on the neck.
    The pads/adjusting materials are fresh and recent plus the NA plays from low Bb to High F. There is a decent sized dent present on the bow (pictured) and various minor dings/re-solders present on the NA body. The horn body has been buffed/re-lacquered and is well worn-The NA's original engraving is still visible.
    The neck strap ring is well used and should be reversed/reinforced if using a metal hooked strap.
    As with any vintage horn purchase, please budget for setup to personal taste. The horn will ship in a  "Wolfpak" red contoured case which fits the horn well. Thanks for looking at the listing.
