I only need to sell the horn as I am purchasing my first house in the coming month and need to raise funds. The case is functional, the zipper sometimes catches. It is original lacquer, at about 85% It has rolled tone holes. This is the VIII stamp version of the horn, which is more sought after, it has the stamp on the body tube(by the serial number) and also on the neck.
CONN SAXOPHONE SERIAL NUMBERS N91845 SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number is 297.XXX, built in 1941. more great repair work and is well regarded. I have owned this Conn 6M alto saxophone since 2009 and had it overhauled by Randy Jones at Tenormadness shortly after purchasing this horn.
I'm a pro player and I would use this on a gig as a backup sax It is probably considerate more of a student model among pro sax players though. This horn is an Intermediate level saxophone because it has the gold keys like the pro horns do. I went through this horn and made all the necessary adjustments as if I needed it for a gig.
CONN SAXOPHONE SERIAL NUMBERS N91845 HOW TO
I play sax professionally all the time and know how to tweak horns. Keys move well and all notes speak nicely. The altissimo(if you know the fingerings) notes come out very nicely. meaning you are putting more of the reed in your mouth while keeping good muscle tension. The low notes play well on this horn by pushing your lower-jaw further down the reed area of the mouthpiece and keeping your air stream strong. or sub-tone the notes to have them speak quickly. meaning I have to use more air than I normally would. But the pinky key notes don't pop as well as they should. But the very bottom register does not play as nicely as I would like. It has the full range of low Bb to high F. I like horns that have a thinner sound with more punch(more of an R&B edge) It is not designed with the high F# extra key like the newer horns have, but using the altissimo fake fingerings the F# can be played. But it would not be my first choice because it has a thicker full bodied sound than what I am used to. I would definitely play this on gigs or a studio session.
The serial number is preceded by an"N" But it is NOT stamped Mexico. The serial number on this is in the high-115.000s which means it was made in 1970. more sax player and can give you the exact style and sound of this horn as you read through this.
