Artikel: Conn New Wonder II / ChuBerry
Type : New Wonder series II (ChuBerry)
Serial : M166669
Year : early 1926
General description : Lots of the New Wonder Series 2 (aka ChuBerry) alto´s were made between 1924 and 1930. All of the "Series II" horns had rolled tone holes and "nailfile" G# keys. Conn started changing the design of the alto and the Transitional alto´s were introduced end of 1929, shortly after the Great Depression. It´s rather easy to find a Chuberry alto through the online platforms, but most of them are in very worn condition and with lots of damage. Most of them were silver plated, but some other finishes were available as well. A couple were even made in gold-plated version, with the famous Stenberg engravings. Beautiful horns, with a fantastic warm sound!
This specific ChuBerry alto was built early 1926. It has the Finish 1: silver plated body with gold plated keywork and bell engraving. This is a rather rare version and hard to find these days!
Condition : This alto is a real beauty, in good playing condition and sounds fantastic. It shows no wear on the body and the keywork. Only 1 small dent at the bottom bow guard. No repairs or damage.. All locking screws are present and the rollers are original. The pads (with flat metal resonators) are in good condition. This horn has the original neck, with working microtuner. The neck has no pulldown.
