In the meantime I wonder if younger players have had the chance to experience one, and I kind of doubt that many of them have. It's too bad, because they are SO GREAT! If you ever get a chance to play one, you should take it. They're also amazingly affordable for the quality of sound that they put out, and for the overall satisfaction of the experience of playing one regularly. The reason they're affordable is just that Conn made a ton of them, and since they were made well, they have also lasted a long time. Look at this alto-- it's 99 years old, and it still looks nearly new! Part of that is that someone overhauled this alto not too long ago and did a good job of it too! It plays well, with a sweet, rich, complex, medium-dark tone. You get the micro-tuner on the neck with this alto too, and that works great for dialing in fine tuning adjustments (one turn is only 1 cent of pitch!!) without wrenching your mouthpiece and neck around. The original silver is nice and thick, and the gold 'wash' in the bell still pops like it was intended to. All in all, quite an alto for the price, and one that should make someone very happy. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GETASAX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42862639218765,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/7931\/2717\/files\/ConnNWIIAltoSilver208993-4.jpg?v=1776049684","url":"https:\/\/getasax.com\/products\/conn-new-wonder-ii-alto-original-silver-good-pads-208993","provider":"GETASAX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
