It was made by Kohlert – not made by Keilwerth, Amati or Karl Meyer. As always I’m interested in unusual vinatage instruments and this fits the description well. He had recently sold me the alto version of this and knew I would be interested. I bought this tenor from my friend Tony at Maggini Supplies a few years ago. Want to try it out? Schedule an appointment.
Whoever decides to make this horn theirs will certainly not regret it! "Top Hat & Cane" saxophones are some of the finest axes ever made and are also one of the best values in the vintage saxophone market. It will have Pisoni Pro pads, and will still have the original snaps. It will be ready to go for a long life of playing.
This horn is currently getting a complete mechanical overhaul.
There is a normal amount of lacquer loss from use over the years and some minor solder repairs here and there. Physically, this horn is not a museum piece, but is in nice overall shape for being just over 70 years old. This horn certainly delivers on the above mentioned! They have a beautiful and warm lushness to them and can also scream and bite when you push them. These horns are truly beautiful pieces of art as well as incredibly well-playing saxophones.īuescher 400's from this era are some of the best examples of american-made horns and are known for their powerful, round and punchy tone. This beautiful engraving on the 400's is further augmented by the silver "Buescher" script on the bell and the silver band on the backside of the bell flare. The 400 model was known for its elaborate engraving, which featured a top hat and cane above a castle that overlooks a spruce tree-lined lake, along with floral ornamentation to fill out the rest of the bell. The 400 was the top of the line, professional model produced by Buescher in Elkhart, IN during the pinnacle of American Saxophone production in the 1940's. Here is a nice Buescher 400 "Top Hat and Cane" tenor saxophone.
