Conn 6M Alto Near Mint Silver 268xxx

Description

Conn 6M Alto Saxophone Near Mint Original Silver Plate Ser# 268xxx This is one of the most beautiful Conn alto styles from the best serial range for Conn altos. It is technically a late late transitional 6M, but I have a copy of the original sales receipt from the original owner, and it was actually sold as a 6M back in the early 1930’s. This horn has been well taken care of. It has no dents and no resolders. The original neck is perfect as well. It currently has old pads and it will need a repad. It plays enough now for me to describe the tone– It’s huge, powerful, and will easily fill up a room. This is a great lead alto for jazz, though I have also heard people swear by these for classical repertoire as well. It’s hard to be the slickness of the 6M keywork. The intonation is excellent as well. So for less than the price of a used Yamaha, you’re getting one of the best saxophones ever made, and certainly one of the very best ever made in the USA. The naked lady engraving is beautiful as ever, and the gold wash bell is gleaming. This horn should make somebody pretty happy. It ships in the original case which is in excellent condition.
