Conn 6M VIII Alto 309xxx Near Mint Silver Plate!

Description

This is a beautiful, all original silver 6M VIII alto. It has all of its original silver plate intact, making it just about as near to buying a new Conn alto as one could hope for. The serial is 309xxx which is an excellent range for Conn 6M’s. It is a gorgeous horn and is structurally very clean. Both body and neck are stamped VIII, which is the more desirable version of the 6M. This horn will play a bit on the current older pads. It is collectible like this, or with an overhaul and light polish, it would look amazingly gleaming and new.

It has a rich, lyrical voice, good intonation, and a warm, powerful tone. 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 sooo rare to see one that is truly this nice. For a nice, original example, this horn is well worth the money. It ships in the original case, which is in good condition. Add a Hiscox for maximum protection in shipping, and I will give you a great discount.
