Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:26115559 | Model: Conn 10M Naked Lady |
Brand: Conn | Body Finish: Brass Lacquer |
Skill Level: Professional | Exact Year: 1942 |
The saxophone is in playing condition, somewhat rough, definitely needs a re-pad and spring adjustments, but it will play, and very nicely at that. THERE IS NO SAX NECK, this is super sad but true. This saxophone will not come with the neck, but everything else is there and functioning, if you are buying this saxophone, you probably already have a separate, preferred neck anyways. The neck diameter... is 28mm. The lacquer shows signs of pretty heavy wear, I estimate that there is about ~40% left. There are a couple of dents here and there, but no major ones. Some re-solder marks on some brackets. Will come with a nice Conn hard shell case, it has some cosmetic wear but serves it's purpose just fine. Using a separate neck, I've played this saxophone a couple of times and it is an absolute joy to play, it practically plays itself. I can't even imagine how good it would be after an overhaul.
Overall, this sax is in fair condition and just needs a good overhaul, after that it'd be as good as new.
Included: The 10M sax and hard case. (no sax neck)
