This is a gold plated (not lacquered but actual gold plate finish) vintage Conn New Wonder II soprano saxophone in excellent condition. It has a recent full overhaul, meaning all new pads, corks, felts, oil, and a lot of labor spent tuning it up and setting everything up to top playing condition. That’s a big plus on this horn. It also got a front F key added custom as part of the overhaul. The tone is the main reason to buy a vintage Conn. It has a wide, powerful, medium dark tone that loves a large chamber mouthpiece and sounds completely different from the oboe-like modern soprano sound. It’s more saxophone-like than a modern horn. You’d be hard-pressed to find a warmer, more pleasant soprano to play, or a more beautiful soprano for a better price. Not to mention the gold plate, the fancy engraving, and the added front F. It’s a great deal! Only one available!
