It is indeed a Buescher cornet. In the early 1900s, Conn made a similar
model which is sometimes called a "crossover" model because of the way the
connections between the valves cross over instead of just going in line from
one to
the next. In the 1870s, Conn made some way more outlandish lo
I've never seen a Buescher model like this, but I do own a Conn Conn-Queror
that also has added tubing between the first and third valves. On the Conn,
the tube you see going from the first valve to the third valve acts as a
compensator. I don't know for sure, but I would assume that they are bui
Frankly, I don't know.
I don't think that air always passing through that piece of tubing. It may
pass into it, but without both valves depressed it probably does not pass
all the way through. You are correct in saying that it would only effect
that pitch as much as a longer third valve slide
These are not compensating instruments, see my previous post for the real
story of what it is. Trust me, I've had many of them in my hands and I'm not
speculating. Buescher did also make baritones and tubas that way.

I don't think the "Conn-Queror" (as shown @

really has compensation.
If you look closely you'll see that there aren't any air passage-ways
directly between the valve casings to allow a direct 'no valve' flow
of air. The external loop from 1st to 3r
