All contributions on Buescher trombones, good and bad are welcome. I think I'll make this an information thread should anyone want to find out anything in the future. I've tried holding the mpc with both my index and middle finger with ring and pinky on the curved brace, but there's no way to fit 3 fingers on the brace without pinching the pinky in the slide.Р”Р„dded After Following Post (Friday, July 20, 7:00pm mtn): Holding the horn is different because the corkbarrel is very short. I'm going to see what the SlideDr can do with it, then, if the slide is good, it'll likely replace the Super as my Jazz (jam session) horn. Compared to the Super, I think it's got a little more core to it. It doesn't sizzle as much as my 4H, or even my 30H which is (a little less than the 4H) but it sounds more like the Super than my small Conns. With the XTC106C2s mouthpiece, I think it sounds a lot like my Super. It has a less delicate, less small mouthpiece with an extra-small shank. Like I said the slide is larger than my 4H. My TheBuescher is not as small bore as it looks. I'm going to play around with the mpc setup before giving up on it. Then I played it last week in a jam session with an XTC106C2 and it sounded all wide and mellow. With the original mouthpiece, which is a tiny, delicate looking think, the horn sounds thin and blatty. My True-Tone 410 looks a lot like this one: Since you have a couple, do you mind talking a little about tone and playability in comparison to the usual suspects? Plays way bigger than its specs would suggest. Old Conn small bores can go pretty cheap and have a more modern sound. If you want a cool horn with a unique voice, then they're awesome. If your looking for a cheap horn to play lead in a big band setting they are probably not a good choice. But it depends what you want to do with them. I think Bueschers are great and do seem to go cheap. Plays and sounds great but definitely in a dated sort of way. Beautiful silver plated horn with incredible engraving. I also have a Buescher grand from the 20's. In a combo or as the only trombone sure, but blending with other bones would be tough. It has a different sound, some might say dated, due to the small bore and 7' bell. Its fun to play and looks great but wouldn't be a good fit in a modern setting. Its probably one of the most stylish horns ever made forward slanting braces, asymmetric slide and cool engraving. With people digging vintage small bore pea shooters for lead for jazz, why do you think the old Kings and Olds are prevalent, while the pre-selmer stuff from Buescher are not thought of in the same manner? Is the tone that much different? Is it just the case that people don't know them since they were a pretty small company and there aren't that many of them out there? Or were they just good with sax and trumpets and couldn't make a good trombone? It seems like those pre-selmer Buescher trombones go fairly cheap. Since I didn't know they did trombones, I thought I would take the opportunity to further edumacate myself on the trombone world. It seems Buescher has some fans of their 30s-50s trumpets, too. I know from my clarinet days that Buescher was known for putting out some pretty cool saxes before Selmer bought them out and made them a student instrument only company.

When Beardsley died in 1936, the company was dissolved and Buescher used the Elkhart trademark for student line instruments until 1959.As I've been keeping an eye out for cheap used bass for my son, I have occasionally seen these vintage Buescher tenors pop up with the funky slanted braces, which sort of makes them catch your eye. In 1927 the company merged with Buescher (some maintain that Buescher was purchased by Elkhart Band Instrument Company). Instruments produced by the company had an irregular assortment of features borrowed from the products of Conn and Buescher, partners in the consortium. The company produced 'Elkhart' branded band instruments as well instruments to be sold under merchandisers' brands ('stencil' instruments). Conn, and who served the new company as secretary-treasurer. The company was founded in 1923 by Andrew Hubble Beardsley (b Dayton Ohio 25 September 1864 d New York NY 10 October 1936), who was the president of Buescher Band Instrument Company, and Carl Dimond Greenleaf (b Wauseon, Ohio 27 July 1876 d Elkhart 10 July 1959), president of C.G.
