Description

This is the cleanest Conn 30M I have seen, after years of collecting them. It is just about as perfect as it could be. It still has all original pads from 80 years ago, and the original tweed case even has cool illustrations of different swing dances!

If you have been looking for the best Conn tenor possible, look no further. This horn is case clean. The 30M Connqueror is the most deluxe full-featured saxophone Conn ever made, and one of the most deluxe ever made period. The way the mechanism works, if you set it up correctly once, then it is set for your entire lifetime. All the adjustments are built into the horn, and are not compressible materials that wear out. All you have to do is swap the occasional pad, and you are all set to keep playing. It makes maintenance and repair easy.

This is a horn that should satisfy most anyone – collectibility wise, it is about as good as it gets – deluxe engraving, solid silver key touches, deluxe keywork (I love that neck octave key), limited numbers of these horns made. (My estimate is somewhere around 1500 tenors assuming generously that one in ten prewar Conn tenors was a 30M.) And this one is in exceptionally fine original condition, with original lacquer almost all there, no resolders, no past repairs, no damage to neck, bell, or body tube, save a small dent removed from the back of the bow that is nearly invisible now. These horns have often sold off of my wait list in the past, and this is one of the only times that one made it to the actual site. If you want to get Matt Stohrer to work his overhaul magic on this horn, I can help you get in with him soon by using one of my reserved spots.

Only one available!
