<![CDATA[Happy (early) birthday to me!]]>Happy (early) birthday to me! 1926 Buescher soprano sax. Did I need it? No. Has it been taunting me on marketplace for months until I finally had an opportunity to look at it in person and pick it up today? Yes. Needs a little TLC, but playable.

Looks pretty good with its siblings already in the collection: 1927 alto and 1922 tenor. All Buescher True-Tone Low Pitch, all silver plated. It's a shame my bari (also Buescher) is from 1955 and brass lacquer finish...
