Conn 12M Baritone Saxophone 314xxx Rare Nickel Plate

Description

This is probably the rarest saxophone on GetASax.com at present. It is a 12M baritone with rolled tone holes, which is rare enough. But this one is in original nickel plate. I have never heard of another nickel plated baritone in this serial range. On top of that, almost every nickel plated Conn has no engraving, and this one has the full regular 12M engraving on it. It may be one-of-a-kind.

On top of that, people who have played a lot of Conn saxophones know that the nickel plated ones are special. They have more power and ‘bark’ to the tone than any other Conn. It is pro-quality in every way and should satisfy any bari enthusiast looking for the best possible vintage tone. The tone is huge, warm, spread, and powerful. This horn will burn all the way up into the palm keys without losing the fatness in the tone.

Cosmetically, it has some resolders, like virtually any vintage bari. It has no dents, and very little evidence of past dent work, which is great. The pads are older, but they are still sealing well and were put in by George Bunk at Saxquest several years ago. The neck is original and in great shape, not pulled down. This horn also comes in what looks like the original Conn case, which is in great shape. For international buyers, I can ship this to any country that has a 108 inch limit on USPS for only $350, including buying a NEW protec contoured baritone case to ship it in. That is a great deal.
