Slightly after this, Art Musical Instruments had a name change to "Harry Pedler and Sons" - and still stenciled Martin instruments. When Beardsley died in 1936, the Buescher company began using the Elkhart Band Instrument trademark on a line of instruments until 1958.įA Buescher then founded Art Musical Instruments in 1932 - they didn't produce their own saxophones, but used Martin stencils.įA Buescher died in 1937 and was succeded by Harry Pedler, the VP at the time, at Art Musical Instruments. In 1926/7 the Buescher Band Instrument Company was joined with the Elkhart Band Instrument Company 1 (some claim that Buescher was bought by the Elkhart Band Instrument Company), a company founded two years previously by Beardsley with Conn's Carl Greenleaf as secretary-treasurer. FA Buescher was vice-president and general manager of the company until 21 January 1929, when he resigned these positions, but was retained as a consultant engineer. FA Buescher remained president until 1919 when Beardsley assumed that title. In 1916, FA Buescher sold a major share of his company to six businessmen including Andrew Hubble Beardsley. This was later restructured as the Buescher Band Instrument Co in 1904. The other reason for the division is given on a couple other websites (I've done some transliterating and added some extra info):įA Buescher left Conn in 1894 to establish the Buescher Manufacturing Co. A minor difference is that the horns acquired pearl inlay at some point. The main difference between these two "models" is the subtraction of the dual-octave key. The award of first is given to the Conn "Worcester" made in 1888. Neither is the first model made by FA Buescher. Let's take a look at a chart and see if we can track the major features. There are also a couple of major things to note about each series. There are unquestionably several "series" or "groups" of horns that can be called "True Tone".
