If I hadn&#8217;t been the first to see the SOTW Market Place ad that Paul Coats placed in 2000, I would never have ended up with this bad boy. This seemingly innocent inquiry about buying a horn, that I sent to Paul over 20 years ago now, sent me down the rabbit hole of bass saxophone land.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The early history of this purchase is well <a href=\"https:\/\/bassic-sax.info\/version5\/bass-sax-info\/my-personal-bass-sax-story\/\">documented on this very site<\/a>, and was of course the very reason the original bassic-sax.ca was created. Over the years much has changed and grown on this site\u2014and so too has my taste in bass saxophones. When an opportunity to own a closet Couf Superba I bass came up, I decided that it was indeed time to part with my friend of over 20 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A young player from the interior of this province was interested in buying my vintage Buescher bass, so I adjusted the price to make it happen. Yes, I could have sold the horn for more. However, selling it to someone who could come and pick up the horn in person, saved me the worry of shipping damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In spring 2021, after 20\u00bd years, I transferred stewardship of this old timer to a new owner. Buescher True Tone bass saxophone #80XXX, with its custom purple case, and stand made by Paul Coats, went to live in the Okanogan.&nbsp;<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is of course the horn that started it all.
