>>In effect, I let my horn (a 1934 Buescher New Aristocrat) lead me to develop a dark fat sound that feels right for this instrument. It stands in contract to what tends to be popular today. >>

I love the sound of those Bueschers from the 1920s and 1930s. I hacen't been able to make myself sell my old Buescher alto and tenor, although I don't play them much because the keywork is too awkward for me. Someone with bigger hands than mine would find Bueschers more comfortable than I do--but I do love that mellow tone. People who think the instrument has nothing to do with the tone (the performer does it all) might change their minds if they could compare a vintage Buescher with a brand new "Black & Decker Section Wrecker." I'm stealing that wonderful phrase from somebody and I can't remember from whom!
