Description
This is a fully restored Conn Pre-war 10M Tenor saxophone that looks like a new horn. If aesthetics are important to you, and you also want a saxophone that is already restored, this would be a great purchase! And you save money since it has a new coat of lacquer, compared to if the original lacquer were still there. This beautiful 10M is from the second year that the 10M was made, and it is in very good condition. It was refinished and completely overhauled by Wichita Band, who sold it only a few months ago on eBay for $3850. I’m pricing it lower, because I think $3850 is a bit high for it. So you can get a great deal, on a horn that has an expensive restoration already completed. The pads are reso-pads like Conns originally came with, so it has a vintage soft feel under the fingers. The horn plays really easily, with a big, warm tone like you would expect with a 10M.
Just for fun, here’s Dexter Gordon putting a 10M from the same era through its paces. (The mouthpiece is a Hollywood Dukoff, which I also have for sale, if you are looking.) The sound mixing guy who recorded Dex always had to dial him back a lot. There really is no limit to the volume on a Conn 30M tenor.
