My hobby is buying and selling alto sax's. The last couple I have cleaned and polished to look like new, with new pads and what ever it needed to play well. Both sold for a fair price.
My question now is: This next one is a very well patina'd silver plated Buescher True Tone. Should I leave it that way. I get mixed remarks on what to do. I thought about polishing the keys and the gold inside the bell. What is your collective advice?
I grew up poor and when I got a pair of hand-me-down shoes or boots, I polished the heck out of them. My opinion is the only thing that has to look old is the guy in the mirror.
Thanks for the advice.
