Expert: Kenton Scott - 11/8/2009

Question
I HAVE A BUESCHER BARITONE (SERIAL # 127185). IT IS SILVER WITH FANCY ENGRAVING AND TRUE TONE VALVES. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFO ON THIS INSTRUMENT? PRODUCTION DATES? ANYTHING WOULD BE HELPFUL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE.

Answer
It was made around 1923. Buescher started his own independent company in as the Buescher Manufacturing Co. in 1894. Buescher had previously worked for Conn-Dupont. He changed the name in 1904 to Buescher Band Instrument Co. He sold the company in 1916, though he remained as manager and engineer. Merged with the Elkhart Band Instrument Co. in 1928. He Died in 1937.
