Conn 10M Tenor Original Lacquer Pre-War 274xxx

This beautiful original lacquer Conn 10M tenor is in good condition and ready to play right out of the case. It just had a tune up, and it has a mix of older and newer pads. It plays just how you would expect, with that big, medium dark, room-filling Conn tone that everyone loves! This horn is not pristine, but has been played some, and has a few past repairs: there have been a few small dents removed on the back of the bow and bell, one by the lyre holder, and one from the side of the neck, all clearly pictured below. One post by the G# has been resoldered where it popped off. These are just run-of-the-mill vintage saxophone repairs and not serious, but I mention them so you know just what you are getting. The horn is beautiful, and you don’t notice this stuff unless you look quite closely.

Pre-war 10M’s in good physical and cosmetic condition are getting harder to find, and this one is priced on the lower side for a quicker sale. It includes the pictured Pro-Tec case as well. The Conn 10M is one of the best tenor saxophones ever made, and this is a nice example from the prime serial range. If you have been looking for a good Conn to play, this would be an excellent choice. Only one available!
