Conn 6M VIII Ladyface (1940)

Another fantastic 6M VIII alto saxophone! Built in the early 1940s, with serial number 2888xx. These pre-war saxes are in great demand and are among the best saxes Conn produced. This one also has the original lacquer, and is in very good condition. Very nice Ladyface engraving on the bell! No dents, damage or repairs! The pads are still fine: some have been replaced. The sax plays superbly and can compete with any MK6. 
The microtuner has been overhauled by us and functions smoothly again, with no play. The original case is old but still functions well.

Another fine 6M VIII Ladyface alto saxophone has arrived under MRO-ID AS111. These are undoubtedly the best saxes Conn has built. A true all-round saxophone with a great sound that many a Selmer MK6 could envy. This example has the original lacquer and is in excellent condition, with only 1 dent and 1 re-soldering. Fitted with Conn Reso-pads, so original sound guaranteed!

Undoubtedly 1 of the rarest and most sought-after tenor saxophones is the Conn 30M ´Connqueror´. Only a limited number was produced between 1936 and 1940, probably a maximum of 1200 copies. I am therefore particularly pleased to add a fine and original one to my collection under MRO-ID TS53. 

Alto Conn ChuBerry - Artist version

Only a limited number of Conn Chuberry alto saxes were built in the Artist version, with gold-plated body and keywork. These saxes almost always have a beautiful, highly detailed and unique bell engraving. This is one of the last ChuBerry alto saxophones: shortly after this, changes to the keywork were introduced and the so-called Transitional saxes came into being (although this was never an official designation).

Conn / Wurlitzer alto ´The Seventh Trumpet´

This unique saxophone (AS109) is very special indeed.... Built by Conn for Wurlitzer (serial prefix W). Most likely built at the end of the Roaring 1920´s. This one has very distinct keywork modifications, is gold plated and has full-bell engraving. I've never seen that before! Fortunately, the previous owner (collector) sent along a lot of information about this sax: see the full description and the beautiful photos under AS109.
