I THINK ITS GENRALLY A BAD IDEA TO RE LAQUER OR OVER POLISH VINTAGE HORNS BUT I DECIDED TO CUSTOMISE MY BELOVED TENOR TO MAKE IT STAND OUT. SINCE THE BUESCHER TRUE TONE MODEL WAS QUITE A LARGE PRODUCTION RUN THEY ARE RELITIVLEY INEXPENSIVE AND EASY TO COME BY, SO I DONT FEEL SO BAD.

PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS WITH A MARK 6 ! 

SOME BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS OF A REFURB ON MY BUESCHER TENOR BY JOHN CLARK, WOODWIND WORKSHOP IN MANCHESTER

JOHN HAD THE BODY SILVER PLATED 

WE TRIED BLACK POWDER COATING THE KEYWORK TO COMPLEMENT MY BLACK BARITONE

 IT DID NOT WORK SO WE POLISHED THE KEYWORK INSTEAD

I HAD THE FRONT ENGRAVING PICKED OUT

REALLY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT AND A ONE OF A KIND VINTAGE SAX
