    Description

    Up for auction is a rare professional Buescher 400 Top Hat & Cane tenor saxophone.
    This tenor sax has the potential to be a hidden gem with some TLC.
    Most of the keys move freely and the snap in pads are in poor to fair condition(should be professionally cleaned, new pads/corks installed to be playable and adjusted for optimal performance). This tenor saxophone has the raised Buescher 400 logo, elaborate Top Hat and Cane bell engraving, a bell tone ring and an under-slung octave key on the neck. There are no major dents present and the minor body/neck dents pictured can be removed during the pro repad/overhaul. This tenor saxophone has scratches throughout and minor lacquer wear from normal use, with approximately 90% of lacquer intact(may not be not original).  The serial number is in the 340,xxx range, which dates manufacture to approximately 1951 and the pictures provided are of the actual item being sold. Included is a somewhat used, worn and musty smelling Buescher wood shell tenor saxophone case(all latches function as intended, case interior is intact, exterior has scuffs and wear, both handles are usable). No mouthpiece is included. This is being sold in "as-is" condition!
