Well it’s been a while since we’ve seen a vintage American bass saxophone on eBay. Then a couple of days ago I\u00a0saw across this silver plated Buescher<\/a>, circa 1922.<\/p>\n

One would have to see more close-up and detailed photos of this Buescher, but if these dings are really the only damage to the horn, this bass would be in truly remarkable condition.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty obvious that the seller doesn’t play the saxophone\u2014the photos of the upside down mouthpiece kind of give that away. This inexperience might also explain the slightly over zealous pricing on this lovely looking sax.<\/p>\n

Bids for this Buescher bass start at $10,999.00, but to date none have yet come in. The auction for this vintage sax runs until February 11.<\/p>\n
