Hello, today, we focus our interest on a very specific and niche topic, it's not how much buescher made typped bell soprano but how many design of typped bell was made or developped by buescher.

I Will use this picture to illustrated, i ask how many buescher would made different sort of tipped bell (not c soprano not alto straight)

I know my mine was built in "two bloc" : the horn and the bell
But i know they're for exemple 3 bloc : the neck, the horn, the bell

My mine have balanced octave system, but another typped bell haven't this featured, and different graving, for exemple,

If you have one tipped bell buescher, and having picture of any différent sort of typped bell, i would like to you share us. I would like see the difference between the differents typped bell

It's old pictures, but you can see globally the design

I can't help you with the particulars, but the finest soprano saxophone I ever got to try was a gold plated Beuscher tipped bell model that I got to try at a past Symposium.

I'm pretty sure I posted a picture of it on SOTW a few years back in a Symposium thread that you might be able to find using the key words "saintsday" and "tipped bell" soprano. I may still have the files in storage somewhere and will check for that as well.
