Introducing a Timeless Treasure: The Vintage 1947-1949 Buescher 400 Top Hat & Cane Tenor Saxophone

Step into the golden age of saxophone craftsmanship with this exquisite Buescher 400 Top Hat & Cane Tenor Saxophone, proudly presented with its original case. Hailing from the illustrious years of 1947-1949, this saxophone represents the pinnacle of Buescher's artistry and dedication to uncompromising quality.

As the most deluxe saxophone ever produced by Buescher, the Top Hat & Cane series is renowned for its elaborate engraving, elegant neck design, and the distinctive "tone ring" adorning the bell lip. These features not only contribute to the saxophone's stunning visual appeal but also enhance its tonal richness and projection.

This particular instrument has been serviced and adjusted by our nationally certified woodwind technician, Bryan Lopes, ensuring that it plays very well. This was not a complete overhaul;  we find that most pro players prefer to have their horns set up by the tech they like, with pads and springs they like, so we don't add to the cost of the horn with work you may replace anyway.

The saxophone's mechanical and cosmetic condition is good, as this is a relacquered horn, though there is some lacquer wear and discoloration that we have pictured. While the relacquering process has significantly reduced the price compared to original lacquer models, rest assured that the utmost care has been taken to preserve the saxophone's integrity. The relacquering process has been executed without any significant buffing, keywork damage, or other related issues that could compromise the instrument's quality.  The engraving is still very much present.

Seize this extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of saxophone history at an unbeatable value. The Vintage 1947-1949 Buescher 400 Top Hat & Cane Tenor Saxophone is not merely an instrument; it is a testament to the enduring legacy of American craftsmanship and a companion that will inspire your musical journey for generations to come.
