Conn 6M Alto Near Mint Original Lacquer 320xxx

Description

This is a beautiful, all original 6M alto. It has nearly all of its original lacquer intact, and it even still has its original pads from 1947, making it just about as near to buying a new Conn alto as one could hope for. The serial is 320xxx which means it still has rolled tone holes. It is a gorgeous horn and is structurally very clean. This horn will play a bit on the current older pads. It is collectible like this, or with an overhaul, it would play HUGE.

These horns have a rich, lyrical voice, good intonation, and a warm, powerful tone. They are the ideal lead alto saxophone. Many people think of the 6M as a quintessential big band horn, and it can certainly do that well, but it is also much more versatile. You can play everything including classical on a 6M and sound great! It is pretty hard to find a really clean 6M that is not beat up. And it is pretty rare to see one that is this nice. For a nice, original example, this horn is well worth the money. There’s only one available. Get it now!
