Re: Buescher True-tone
This horn, like most, is suitable for any type of music. 99% of that is up to the player, all things being equal.
The E flat trill key when enabled is activated by the middle "E" finger of the right hand, using the E Stack key.
Although some would argue this, I don't find it of much use, and it adds resistance/weight to the action, is yet another Body/Bow/Bell area key that might cause a leak etc., even when working/sealing properly.
Some find it helps the intonation the low notes of certain horns, and if that is the case with yours then by all means use it. Otherwise....
Regarding the price paid:
Yes this is a good deal, but keep in mind:
Even if you only have to put a mean $250.00 into the horn for a re-pad and adjustment, these horns are found in abundance, and the top value on the market isn't much more if any above your total cost given those figures. They are wonderful horns, but don't fetch top prices, yet.
This is only an issue if you are looking to "flip" the horn for profit right now.
Cheers.
