Pics of a horn I am redoing

I believe this to be a Buffet Dynaction, but there is little "real" info on these horns other than saxpics.com. But here are some pice for you to enjoy..

Cool horn! Gotta love that shiny silver

Before I scrolled down enough to see the bell, I thought the horn was one of those metal fence posts. Then I realized the keys were just missing!

Yikes what a beautiful sight!!!!!!! A silver Buffet Dynaction. I have a lacquer tenor with the original flat metal resonators and it just smokes!!!!!!!! I believe that these are the most undervalued horns alive. What an incrediable horn these are!!!!!! Super rare in silver. Congrats on your new sax!!!!!!! One of only about 2500 Dynaction tenors made. SWEET!!!!!!!

I cleaned most of the keys tonight. I just need to do the left hand (G A B C) keys.

Is the neck solid silver or plated? This horn is gorgeous. And think only 2500 people max at any one time in the universe can know what I am talking about!!!!

Beautiful work!

Lovely job restoring this beauty. I'm a real sucker for silver plate finishes, and these models play and sound as good as yours looks, so hang on to it!

I have to double check but I think the neck is plated. I will be messuring the pad cups and tone holes this week. I got caught up with last weeks vacation and could not work on the horn. Hope to have it fully playable in 1 month..

just wondering; Saxland are you sure about the 2500 figure? it actually seems a bit high to me, considering that, according to saxpics, around 4700 alto, tenor, and bari dynactions were made and it doesn't seem logical to me that the tenors would outnumber the altos. also, would you have any idea how many baris were made? I've been trying to find out for a while now, since i bought mine (i should be picking it up from the shop tomorrow, hooray!) the only other one i've seen ws the one on saxpics.com.

Nelkin, thanks for pointing out what I should have seen. I guessed about 5000 saxes were produced, (a rounded up figure) then split the figure in two, (alto and tenor). When I bought my Dynaction I had no idea they made baris until I saw one on ebay. So I have no idea, but glad to know that there are fewer dynaction tenors ('cause I LOVE mine) than I thought.

What is the Dynaction Bari like?
