Buescher Aristocrat Trombone


Here's a new one for me, a Buescher Aristocrat trombone.  I've had many trombones but mostly old Conn's, Kings, etc.  This instrument was Buescher's top of the line instrument in the 1930's.   They were never know for their trombones but this horn was top notch!  Very well built, great sound.  Note the angled bell braces!  Also a great engraving.  The slide was a dual bore, I can't remember exactly but something like .485"/.500",  it had a great sound.   I don't know if I'd say it was better than an old Conn but honestly it was just as good!  Hope to see one of these again someday.
