Electronics this old often need the caps to be upgraded to prevent Hum and other issues. I can not be sure it is working the same as new. This system can also be used with other saxophones if you get a mouthpiece fitted with a mic. I can not verify the electronics operation since it is that old. The Amp looks new but has been in storage since the 60’s. The amp comes with what I think is a reverb box that plugs into the back of the amp.
The amp played through and I could vary the sound with the switches and knobs. I did not do any testing of the Tenor kit. These look new although I connected up the alto to see if the amp worked. There are two kits: an Alto and a Tenor kit with Buescher 400 necks, cables and control boxes that mounted on the key guards for both.
#Buescher 400 trumpet review series
This set up was for the Buescher 400 series and includes kits for converting the standard sax by changing the necks and adding the Amp interface. Built in the 60’s by Selmer an amp and interface for modifying the sound coming out of woodwinds and brass instruments. This is how the seller describes the most interesting find: That would have been a shame, because this minty Buescher Varitone amp and 2 control units (1 for tenor and another for alto), appear to be very fine indeed. One of the vintage sax players/owners/enthusiasts, who regularly stays in touch with me, sent me a link to an auction that I surely would have missed.
