Here's another smashing old Buesher True Tone, a series III variety.
This horn came to me without a case, missing some things, but all in all straight and clean. I tracked down the missing octave mech bit and restored this horn last winter, it turned out great! So great in fact that my partner decided to keep this horn as her main axe, which it was until a Series IV TT came along that she liked even better.
These horns are just fantastic sounding, pretty comfortable, lots of harmonic spread in the tone. Lovely. The differences in the various Series' have to do with the evolution of the horns by Buescher. This one is a Series III, the only differences between this and a series IV are a different engraving and a nice little roller arm on the for the G#. They both have the more modern pinky table (pearl G# touch piece as opposed to a button in the earlier TT's) and better intonated #1 neck.
Probably my favorite horns here!
