Buescher Big B or Jupiter artist

[rcsax]

I want upgrade saxophone from my Vito sax
I am interesting with Buescher Big B (1949) and Jupiter artist alto
But I have no Idea, which is good to me, sound like Buescher is good tone and good build quality but no good with key work. Jupiter has better key work but have no idea with tone and quality,
I need advice for this

Try them each with a tuner before you decide.

I have never played a Jupiter Artist before, but I doubt it will hold its resale value the way the Buescher will.

The keywork on the Buescher isn't the drawback you might think at first.
Just because the pinky keys are stiffer doesn't mean that you'll be slower on them.

Pretty obvious which way I lean, I guess.

In the end you have to get the one that suits you. All we can do is give opinions and suggestions on criteria to include in your decision-making.

Good luck.
