Not junk. They're a good student sax, but vary depending on their age. the Aristocrat line was introduced by Buescher in the 1930's as a professional instrument. By the time Selmer bought Buescher in 1963, designs had advanced and the 'crats were considered intermediate instruments. Selmer continued to use the Buescher tooling for some time but hasn't for some decades. More recent instruments are made in Taiwan, and I don't know whether they have anything in common with the old 'crats, but they are still considered good student saxes.

Does anyone have information about Alto Saxophones manufactured in Dusseldorf with the name Major by Selmer inscribed on the bell?
I have an alto "Major"by Selmer Dusseldorf. It's a terrific horn. I called the Selmer factory about 25 years ago, there was a very old man who had been there for years, He was the only one there who knew anything about it. He said that years ago Selmer opened a factory in Dusseldorf but they had several problems and closed it shortly after. he also said that the horns they turned out were of very high quality.

Is The 1948 Beuscher Aristocrat a good trumpet?
In 1963, Selmer bought the Buescher company and after that the Aristocrat became a student horn. Prior to that, though, there was the Buescher TrueTone, which was their top-of-the-line horn, and the step right below that was the Aristocrat, a very nice professional horn. I myself own an Aristocrat from 1963 just before the buyout, and I love it. It's comfortable, the valves move great, and depending on the mouthpiece, it's a great horn for any type of playing and timbre.
What is the best brand of alto saxophones?
In my opinion the best known model of alto saxophone is a Selmer Mark VI. Most people consider Selmer to be of the highest quality. However, it all depends on personal preference and what kind of mouth piece, ligature and reed you are using. Other great brands are Cannonball and Yanagisawa. If you are saxophone shopping be sure to try out the actual saxophone that you are interested in because a brand can mean nothing if you're not comfortable on it.
