Description
This saxophone is sold! But click here to see our current selection of tenor saxophones.
As you can see, this is an extremely clean example of a gold-plated Conn New Wonder II. The price includes having the horn overhauled and hand-polished by Matt Stohrer, who is one of the best repair guys in the country, and who specializes in these kinds of horns.
This horn is in all-original condition, with original pads intact, it would appear. It comes in its original case as well. The gold plate is about 98%+ present, with hardly any wear. There are not dents or dings or past repairs at all. It’s going to be a beast when it’s overhauled – shining gold, huge sound. If you’re coming from a comparatively tame modern Selmer or Yamaha, this kind of vintage Conn can be almost too much sound at first, until you learn to tame the horn! This is lots of fun, and for once, the guitarists and brass players will be asking you to please not play so loudly all the time… A lot more could be said about tone, but this horn is scheduled to be overhauled soon, so I’ll add more details then. If you grab it now, you can get it overhauled to your specifications. Either way, it’ll be great. If you want to buy this horn with a new Hiscox case to keep it ultra-safe, I’d be happy to hook you up with one for a great price.
