Big beautiful sound. From the late-1920s. This horn has a lot of character. Some charming quirks. Upper resister is a little high in pitch, like many older horns, but allows you to really fill up the sound. Feels almost like a tenor, such a big sound. Very special horn. This horn looks great, too. 

 

Buescher Aristocrat Series II, “Big B” FOUND A HOME

This is made in the 1940s and has a big beautiful sound. These are becoming more and more popular these days.

 

Vito/Yamaha – 19xx A

Great horn in great shape. From the 1970s. This was the first model I discovered in my Vito journey. I played this model on my album The Creep.

Evette/Buffet-Crampon

Probably an intermediate model. For students and professionals. This has a modern feel – a lot of brightness and projection. Great for lead alto work. Would cover the section well. Easy to play.

This is made in the Beaugnier Factory, just like the Vitos from this era (1960s). This horn has a sweet sound!
