Re: elkhart sax with deer head, who made it
Technically, it's an angry elk, not a deer! Both Conn and Buescher made the Elkhart horns. They are one of the oldest stencils in America. The earlier models were made by Conn, and have the Mercedes style wire key guard over the "C" key. The later models are made by Buescher. Neither Martin or King made any Elkhart horns. King was based in Cleveland, Ohio. Martin, although also based in Elkhart, Indiana, made a stencil called the "Indiana". If your horn does NOT have the Mercedes emblem style keyguard, it was indeed made by Buescher and it is basically a Buescher True Tone stencil.
