'The Elkhart' Alto Sax - 'The Elkhart' By Buescher Alto Saxophone Serial Number 37557 Model Number 20A SOLD This is a really nice alto sax. You can see by the left-hand pinkie plateau and the bell key guard that it is a Buescher-built horn. And it is marked under the serial number with the model number of '20A'. These horns sound great and play great.
Although the Elkhart was Buescher's 'second-line' or student horn, it was like they couldn't restrain themselves from making them great-playing. Buescher's Elkhart would be comparable to Conn's Pan-American or Martin's Indiana. The of an Elk within a heart is particularly nice on this original lacquer horn. The aren't new on this horn, but they are sealing well and the key action is excellent. And the tone is the thing.
If you use a pro mouthpiece and a good reed with this horn, nobody'll be able to downgrade you on your sound. Reliability and playability will stand up to any Yamaha student horn, while the tone on this Elkhart can easily surpass it. For local buyers I wouldn't hesitate to give you a 30-day parts and labor guarantee.
It comes with a very nice, contoured, hardshell Lots of folks buy a vintage sax and then have to turn right around and spring for $50-100 for a case. There are some color blemishes on the exterior, but this puppy is 'good to go'. You can see lacquer-wear on each side of the righthand thumbhook. The was removed from this horn.

I am still working on the Cavalier serial number dating system (separate thread), but have now expanded to try for a serial number system for Elkhart Band Instrument Company (EBIC). Also, since FA Buescher started it, ART/Pedler & Sons, I am trying to establish a serial number system for that company as well. I currently have EBIC 110 brass serial numbers, 78 Elkhart By Buescher Serial numbers and a host of possible stencils. Historical evidence had been critical in the development of the Pan American Brass and Sax serial number systems now posted on the Conn Loyalist Historical information has helped with Cavalier, but there is much less. I am finding very little on Elkhart Band Instruments. What I do have is: 1916 CD Greenleaf & AH Beardsley lead a consortium to buy Buescher.
1918 Elkhart Band Instrument Company in the trades 1919 September, Elkhart Band Instrument Company incorporated by CD Greenleaf and AH Beardsley. The registration number implies 1917 activity. 1922 September, first usage of The famous Elkhart: elkhead & heart logo as cited in the August 1947 August trademark registration.
1927 November, EBIC announces expansion beyond saxes to include brass instruments. 1928 November, again EBIC announces expansion beyond saxes to include brass instruments. 1929 EBIC Catalog number 10 includes brass instruments.
1929 Trade advertising indicates EBIC is division (i.e.) subsidiary of Buescher and announces Band Instruments. 1929 FA Bueascher 'retires', trades indicate Buescher organization, including EBIC still controlled by CD Greenleaf and AH bearsley. 1924 to 1955 - Elkhart City Directories show EBIC 1928 the directories show EBIC at Jackson street address with Buescher, hence the belief of a 'merger' 1940 Trade announcement of sales orgaization call EBIC subsidiary of Buesher 1947 Elkhart: elkhead & heart logo trademarked. 1955 EBIC no longer listed in Elkhart directories.
From 1928 to 1940, I have found EBIC to be a relatively active advertiser. Any help to get serial numbers and descriptions (pictures) for EBIC instruments would be helpful. There is a strong indication, that EBIC, like Pan American was very active in the stencil markets. I can also use documentation like, ads, catalogs, brochuchres, sales slips etc to identify model numbers or names and designs. Thanks for anything you can provide or guide me to. Happy New year!!
