Unidentified artist ...
Octave Dua, Belgian secondary tenor, supporting/cameo artist and stage director (1882-1952). Entirely forgotten, despite a superb international career. Hence the scarcity of his iconographic/acoustic material.

At around serial 200,000 Buescher improved the palm keys; they are sturdier and better placed. The palm key touches were enlarged and rise up higher form the body tube. The palm Eb / E palm key touch was particularly improved.
Buescher made further changes to the palm keys a little later in the 1920's on the Series IV True-Tone altos.
Buescher also altered the octave key touch and rest at this time. Earlier horns featured a metal teardrop-shaped octave key touch and a round metal thumb rest. Here the octave key touch is a round pearl, and pearl is affixed to the top of the thumb rest.
