Hi!
Because of the lack of knowledge that we share about this topic in corresponding finnish forums (or anyone doesn't just bother to answer...) I'd like to enquire your potential information about the subject.
I just recently got a tenor saxophone to my possession and I'm very eager
to know a bit more of its backgrounds. Here is some detailed information about the sax:
Label: The Wurlitzer American, "Made By Rudolph Wurlizer CINCINNATI CHICAGO"
S/N: #43744 Low Pitch, Licence Pat. DEC 8. 1914
Colour: Silver
Buttons: Plain metal, no pearl, black rolls.
I did some detective work via various saxophone forums and came up with these conclusions:
The label was made before 1930 by Buecher, Martin and Conn. I managed to take out Conn from the equation because of the lack of pearl in buttons. I also figured from some pictures in saxpics.com that the model must be either Buecher True Tone or Martin Handcrafted. The question is that how could I tell the difference from those two models and if anyone has more detailed information about the specific piece of art I would be really happy if you could share it with me!
