Paul reviews and demos three alto saxophones that were produced in the Buescher factory in the mid-1900s, emphasizing their history. Mentions include the Buescher TruTone, Elkhart, and Aristocrat, as well as the Selmer Bundy and Signet. '

Though eventually reviled because of pinky keys that were harder for beginners to play than more modern horns, all three of the horns reviewed can produce good tones if paired with good mouthpieces (not the ones Buescher originally included with the things). Also, they are all more solid than 95% of the "student horns" being made in Asia today.
