Buescher used Elkhart as a trade name for a student line after they took over the Elkhart Band Instrument co. Does it have an Elk on the bell? Horn-u-copia has a couple pictured in the Elkhart thread of the Buescher section, the newest there being from 1961 or so. 37b's turn up on Ebay once in a while.

This one seems to be a bit high. Check ebay listings and closed listings.

Don't be put off that it's a value line. You'll note Buescher also put their name on it.

It'll still play well (assuming it's in good enough condition, of course).
