Saxophone repairman Matt Stohrer of www.StohrerMusic.com gives a show-and-tell session on a 1942 Buescher 400 in original silver plate, a horn whose main features he has previously expounded upon at length in a video on the very similar (but much cheaper) Buescher Super 400 here: • Repairman's Overview: ...
So if you want the full scoop and you haven't seen it already, make sure to watch the video on the Super 400 first. If you just want to see some pretty video of a beautiful horn, you probably haven't read this description anyways.

Just got one of these (brass) in my shop for an overhaul and I am looking forward to working on it. Looks to be from early 1950s, with original gold-plated norton springs, snap-in resonators, and original metal-backed pads. Scrollwork especially is in pristine condition with the original lacquer looking virtually flawless. I knew exactly what youtube channel to jump to when the customer dropped off this gem.

Awesome! That sounds like a lot of fun. And they are a lot more fun to work on when they are in pristine condition, that key work is super stiff and geometry adjustments (like the kind that are often needed after somebody has tried to put pads that are too thick in them or something like that) are not a ton of fun. But they are a lot of fun and are really well built. Enjoy the process!

I love the low end response of these horns. You're right, they are extremely lush and dark. Funny, I can say the same for many modern Taiwanese horns, but they all still seem to lack a certain punch that's found in these 400's. I wonder if that's a perception thing due to the location of the bell keys. Hmmm....

Nice! I still have (and play) my 1958 Beuscher 400 TH&C Tenor that my Dad bought me in '58 when I was in 7th Grade!!

I had a tenor Buescher Aristocrat that dated to 1937. It was brass not silver. I liked that instrument a lot, then my son took it over in high school then with him when he moved out.

Matt, why does my 1949 (# 328XXX) Aristocrat (Big B) Tenor, or for that matter all of the Aristocrat Altos and Tenors, have the Low "B" and "B-flat" on the left side of the instrument instead of the back of the bell?

Could you make a video of a later Buescher 400 models?

@StohrerMusic 3 жыл бұрын

I did one of the “super 400”, after that they become more intermediate quality and not something I get paid to overhaul and therefore make a video of.
