Buescher's presence in the professional saxophone market ended when it was acquired by the H&A Selmer Company in 1963, although a nominal 'Buescher 400' model continued to be produced through the mid-1970s. By the late 1950s, Buescher's production of professional-line saxophones was a small fraction of what it had been at the start of the decade. The Aristocrat and 400 models remained popular with professional players through the early 1950s, until instruments with more modern keywork gained favor and changes to Buescher's product line were coldly received. Buescher adapted its sound concept to the bigger, bolder sounds favored by dance orchestras and jazz musicians, modifying its Aristocrat model and releasing the 400 'Top Hat & Cane' model in 1940. Buescher stayed true to Adolphe Sax's concept for saxophone sound into the early 1930s, gaining the favor of classical saxophonist Sigurd Rascher and those influenced by him. During the 1920s Buescher also made innovative limited production models, such as the tipped-bell soprano and straight alto saxophones. Buescher saxophones became distinctive with snap-in pads, patented by Buescher in 1921, and screw-in gold-plated Norton springs, introduced in late 1931.

In the fall of 1893 he opened the Buescher Manufacturing Company at 1119 N. In 1890, while still employed with Conn, he began producing band emblems at home and was setting up his own shop. By 1888 he was promoted to foreman and producing the first American-made saxophones for Conn. Lefebvre, and Conn agreed to producing a copy of that instrument. Buescher gained access to an original Adolphe Sax saxophone in the possession of E. Conn's fledgling band instrument factory. He accompanied his family to Goshen, Indiana and then to Elkhart in 1875. The company was founded by Ferdinand August 'Gus' Buescher (born Elk Township, Noble County, Ohio 26 April 1861 died Elkhart, Indiana 29 November 1937). At the very least it has a more open bell-tail assembly the flare in the bell on this horn begins to widen noticeably at the valve block.
