Conn 10M Tenor Near Mint Original Pads Rolled Tone Holes

This is a remarkably clean original lacquer, original *pads* Conn 10M tenor from 1946. It includes the original case, original mouthpiece and ligature, end plug, the works. Not often have I seen a 10M that was this close to pristine condition. At SN#319xxx it has rolled tone holes and all the features of the early 10Ms.

Obviously, since it has pads that are 70 years old, it will need a repad if you plan to play it a lot. It actually does still play surprisingly well for having its original Conn pads, and hey, ‘it’s only original once’ so might as well leave it this way for now. This serial range is favored by some of the pickier Conn players I know as producing especially good playing 10Ms. As for me, I have found the 10Ms with rolled tone holes to play remarkably consistently and well when they have a good setup.

Only one available!
