Unlacquered 1930 Conn transitional tenor which has had modern keywork painstakingly fit to the old body tube. This is my favorite vintage of Conn for tone. If you’ve ever wanted a Conn tone without sacrificing key feel to play the 30’s keywork, this is one of those rare chances to do it. The horn is also gorgeous. I like that they picked a really clean, beautiful example to use as the shell for the overhaul.
Keywork was custom fitted by a shop in Canada (About a $3500 job), and then the horn was overhauled and perfected by Aaron Barnard in Iowa (+$1650). So you’re basically getting the horn itself for almost nothing. Great deal for you, and it plays with a huge sound. It’s nicely in tune on a large chamber mouthpiece, Keywork is fast and comfortable. It’s the total package if what you love is the late NWII/ early Transitional tone but you want faster, more comfortable keywork.
There’s most certainly only one available!
