Aristocrat Mark Vi
On Febuary 1 of 1963 the Buescher Band Instrument Company along with all of its inventories, tooling, factory space, and dealer contracts was purchased by H & A Selmer. One of the major reasons for this purcahse was that Selmer planned to enter into saxophone manufacturing. The Buescher factory was already tooled for saxophone production and a great deal of past advertising and goodwill had gone into the Buescher saxophone since the 1920's. Furthermore, a dealer network was already established. In 1963, it was mostly a turn-key operation that Selmer felt they could greatly expand upon. The Selmer board and shareholders were also in acqusition mode. They had already purcahsed Harry Peddler & Sons in 1959 and acquired the Vincent Bach Corporation, Mount Vernon, New York in September of 1961.
(Notable exceptions would include Selmer Balanced Action and Mark VI horns and Buescher Aristocrat and 400.) It is true that postwar student horns are nowhere nearly as “collectible” as the prewar models they were based on - for one thing, they glutted the market, and many were grossly abused.

Production barely skipped a beat after the acquisition. In fact, Selmer retained most all of the Buescher factory workers. The post-Selmer Buescher saxophones are essentially Selmer Bundy saxophones. The Bundy line was marketed at the same time and the instruments were made side-by-side using many of the same parts.
