Description: This Buescher soprano has been completely disassembled, chemically cleaned, hand polished, and reassembled with all new Prestini black premium kangaroo leather pads, new corks and felts, new neck cork, and replacement springs as needed. All pads installed with the original snap in resonators. Only exceptions are the upper stack pads 10mm and less including left palm and octave keys. Spuds were left in these key cups and new pads were modified as needed for good fit. I’ll send along the snaps for those keys though they were built in to the pads I removed. The sax plays easily too to bottom. All keys adjusted to correct position, action and heights adjusted. Palm C and Bflat, and fork Eflat carefully regulated for pitch. Left palm keys raised up a bit for ease of playing. Finish and plating are in excellent condition. Some plier marks and minor scratches, extremely small dent near low B and Bflat cups, hard to see. Slight denting below neck cork, and slight push in at palm D post (see photos). Gold wash bell is a gorgeous rose gold color. Saxophone comes with original case and includes a vintage (possibly original) Buescher mouthpiece and ligature. Case is very rough on exterior, is missing a center hinge but latches and lock work. Interior is reasonable. Note-white spots are left over from baking soda I had in it for a couple months. it still smells a bit but not horrible. I have been meticulously rebuilding, restoring and selling vintage saxophones for over 30 years. Examples of my work can be found at KingSax on Facebook. Free shipping is to Continental US only.
