Haynes, who came from a prominent flute-making family, to design the first Selmer flute. Bundy’s desire to expand the business led him to venture into flute manufacturing. Bundy expanded the retail and distribution efforts, and the company began carrying instruments from other musical companies, such as Vincent Bach, Ludwig and Martin. I'll dig up articles, or references for the Bundy II discontinuation that I can find this weekend.Alexandre returned to Paris in 1918 to assist Henri in the family business while George Bundy, one of Selmer’s New York employees, took over managing the U.S. You would think the Selmer '97 catalog would have been out for over a year before the article's author lists those two models in the JazzTimes article. 69, mentions Selmer's release of two new alto saxes, AS300, and AS210. Interestingly, the Winter NAMM article appearing in the May, 1998 JazzTimes (America's Jazz Magazine) p. The 1997 tenors that are listed include the TS100, TS200, and 1244.
The AS110, AS210, and AS300 altos appear in the 1997 catalog, and there's no listing for the Bundy II. Note to ebay sellers, Bundy II saxophone serial numbers always begin with a 7, 8, 9, or a seven digit number starting with 1. There's a serial number gap between the 1960's-1980's early model Bundy instruments end-of-production, and beginning of the Bundy II numbers (in my list) that begin very close to, and actually below #800k.
You'll find the Aristocrat 200 numbers between #738k, and 978k, and possibly outside of that range. Click to expand.Serial number research that I've compiled points to the possibility that the Buescher Aristocrat 200 (Selmer product line) began, or was first introduced after the Bundy, and prior to the Bundy II.
