RE: Rebuild Old Buffet?

If this is a modern-key system (not the Albert or simple system) then the investment will be worthwhile.

These old horns had real tonal character, the only downside is that the mechanical actions are arguably better on modern instruments (tighter manufacturing tolerances).

If you can get a few keys replaced and an overhaul for under $200, it is well worthwhile.

If the cost is approaching $500, you may wish to consider other options.

(Then again, there are no big letters behind my name.)
