Christopher,

Thanks for the info. So who is playing the High Society chorus if the attribution to Tio is incorrect? There are lots of errors made even by specialized museum curators. LSU New Orleans Jazz Museum, for instance, has a caption that reads "Sydney Bechet's clarinet" over a dazzling photo of a metal soprano saxophone! According to some historians, the Tios were considered legally in antebellum Louisiana to be "free people of color" but in the years preceding the Civil War, they were not experiencing much freedom and moved to Mexico in search of more. No doubt they moved back to New Orleans lured by the hope offered by Reconstruction. The Mexican stay was before the birth of jazz but the Mexican rhythms the Tios learned there may have seemed familiar, owing to the family's Spanish provenance, and were probably passed on in that very musical family to become an inherent part of jazz music (later through Jelly Roll Morton and in Handy's St. Louis Blues, for example).

Your remarks about the Buffet right hand stretch being easier than the same on the Selmer Improved model ring a bell with me. Ray Burke had some Alberts for sale that I would try from time to time, and I recall that the Buffet was lighter in the hand and more ergonomic. So maybe Ruben should have a good look at the Buffet too, which in its day was highly regarded and might need mostly to be brought up to date in its tuning.
