Classic 1922 Buescher Tru-tone Gold-plated curved soprano fully overhauled with original case. This sax is RARE. Serial number 86863. New pads, corks and springs. Very mellow sweet sounding curved soprano. Here's a flat recording through a condenser mic, Ward Beck preamp into 24 bit 96k digital, no processing or EQ: soundcloud.com/user-698874916/sopran04wav The gold plating is about 95%. It has been well taken care of the past 90 years or so. Compare the cost of paying for gold plating on a newer sax. Don't let this rare piece fall through the cracks. No soldering work at all on the horn. There is a slight dimple on the underside of the neck which could be due to a slight pull down, but is definitelt in round. No other dings on the body. Bow/bell look perfect. Included in this auction is an authentic Beuscher Soprano Trutone hard rubber mouthpiece with original facing in excellent vintage condition (some fading). The mouthpiece is same era 1920s but nonoriginal to this horn. The price was just lowered on reverb.com if you'd like to check the listing: reverb.com/item/2200421-1920s-beuscher-tru-tone-curved-soprano-gold-plate
