If you have a repair bench at home or have a preferred tech who can do the repad for you, this is a great opportunity to pick up a classic American made Conn pro alto sax on the cheap. Most of the springs are there, though a couple may need to be replaced as well (we have not examined it on the bench, but they pass the “eye test”). This sax has been cleaned and had all pads and material removed, in preparation for a fresh repad. A true work of art showcasing the mastery of Conn's engravers. This sax features a beautiful portrait engraved on the bell, as seen in the photos, with floral elements surrounding it. and a new plant in Elkhart that would one day become the home of Bach Trumpets. The apparent bias against trumpets might be a. That is what all the great trumpet players do. Much of the gold plating has worn from the neck. Conn and the Conn Band Instrument Companies. It does have its original neck, with microtuner mechanism.
There is no major past damage or repair, including no noticeable past dent work and no resolders. This alto shows typical finish wear, mostly on the usual touch points. This alto is in current need of a repad, and we are offering it at a low price “as is” in hopes that the right buyer can restore it back to glory.
