Selmer Bundy baritone sax!

I wish I had a better pic of this horn,  I took one quick shot in the basement studio to send to a friend who'd been looking for a baritone,  he ended up buying it quickly so now its gone!

This is a 60's, maybe 70's, Selmer Bundy baritone.   To do a quick recap of what was going on with the post Selmer buyout of the Buescher company....Selmer bought out Buescher in the early 60's and used the tooling/design of the last Buescher Aristocrats for their "Bundy" student line.   By the time Buescher folded the Aristocrat was no longer a pro model,  but really a bit nicer than something you'd call a student model too.  
So this horn is pretty much identical to the later run Buescher Aristocrat.   Its a well designed horn,  sturdy enough to hold up to the torture of student usage, but plays and sounds great.

This horn in particular came to me VERY much beat.  Dents everywhere, the bottom bow in particular was dented at least 1/3 of the way in.  Luckily it was fairly straight otherwise.   I refurbished the horn completely, dent work (what I could reach....without un-soldering the neck I couldn't reach all the dents),  clean/oil/adjust,  literally half the pads were replaced along with pretty much all the adjustment material.
Also this horn came without a case and I had to track one down....luckily a nice chap on a sax forum gave me a great deal on a solid case.
I was very excited to play test this horn and was not let down....the HUGE bell makes for a monster low end and it really plays well through the entire range.   I think with the right mouthpiece (I don't have many to choose from) this horn could be all you would need until you decide to plunk down serious $$ on an old 12M or Selmer or whatever else you decide is "the one".

I've written about the older Bundy's before, I've had them all through here.  Once again, these are solid, well designed horns!
