Buescher adapted its sound concept to the bigger, bolder sounds favored by dance orchestras and jazz musicians, modifying its Aristocrat model and releasing the 400 "Top Hat & Cane" model in 1940. It is possible he was inspired by one or more figures from the F. Sigurd (Old Norse language, Old Norse: ) or Siegfried (Middle High German: ''Sîvrit'') is a legendary hero of Germanic heroic legend, who killed a dragon and was later murdered. In 1926 Buescher Band Instrument Company was joined with the Buescher was vice-president and general manager of the company until 21 January 1929 when he resigned these positions, remaining on staff as a consultant engineer. Buescher remained president until 1919 when Beardsley assumed that title.
In 1916 Buescher sold a major share of his company to six businessmen including Andrew Hubble Beardsley. In 1904 the business was reorganized and renamed the Buescher Band Instrument Company, reflecting its sole focus on producing band instruments. In 1903 there was a disastrous fire at Buescher's factory. True Tone became the trademark name for band instruments made by the Buescher Manufacturing Company. Unusual in that the valves were of unequal lengths. The most common cornet is a transposing instrument in B, thoug. If you want a good VI that can do it all, this would be an easy, turn-key kind of purchase for a great playing alto.The cornet (, ) is a brass instrument similar to the trumpet but distinguished from it by its conical Bore (wind instruments), bore, more compact shape, and mellower tone quality. They have a lot of guts and they work great for a whole range of playing situations. The low teens serials are my favorite VI altos for tone specifically. The sound on a 114xxx alto is dark, focused, and powerful. The original engraving wasn’t bad, but they just look so much better when Sherry does her magic – it’s kind of a labor of love all-around. I also got the horn re-engraved by the great Sherry Huntley of Artistic Engraving, so that it would look its best for its next owner. The neck also looks good and has not had past repairs.
There’s no sign of past dentwork, and no sign of other resolders. It has a very clean history, and the tone holes all look great. This horn had a little dent taken out of the bell lip, but that’s it for past repairs. It has domed metal resonators, and the pads have a nice firm pop to them. You’re not going to find a better playing VI alto for this kind of money. Steve’s work is very good, especially on an alto like this, so even a super-picky player will be happy with the way that this horn feels under the fingers. This is a relacquered Mark VI alto SN114xxx (matching neck) that has just had a fresh overhaul by Steve Collins of Collins Hornworks.
