Pros:
Valves,Intonation,Upper register,Sound
Cons:
Ugly looking Reciever and Cheap looking Water keys
First their was no listing for my model which is a Pre Selmer Buescher Super Aristocrat. So I put it here thinking this is close enough. It plays and sounds very much like a cross between a Martin Large Bore and an Conn Constellation. I wish I could pin it down more then that but it is hard because it is it's own beast. I would say it sounds more like a Conn Constellation but blows like a Martin large bore. It is a stepped bore. It has lots of depth and color to the sound. It slots nicely and plays in the upper register easily.
The only things about this horn I do not like are the water keys and it's ugly reciever.
Oh I should mention it has a silver bell but lacquered body.
