Conn 1931 ‘New Wonder II/6M Transitional’ Eb Alto, Art Deco, Silver #246k (Archived)

Conn 1931 'New Wonder II/6M Transitional' Eb Alto, Art Deco

Amazing condition! Serial #246,xxx... shining example in original silver plating!  +95% intact!, to be verified during rebuild when she is polished.  No wear on the thumbrest! Small wear on the octave key and high F palm key. The toneholes look great.

CONS: Small dent in the back bow that will come out easily, and the only other thing to mention is the knock to the neck under the neck cork area - This has a split that will need some expert solder repair.

This is an early transitional model, and true example at that with flat-Chu G#, neck tuner, even the Eb trill key like the Chu!...  The sax is in great condition, and will need a full rebuild to enjoy! We will do that for the price included, AND remove all the tarnish.

CASE: (UPDATE: a new Protec XL case can be purchased and included - $170 value.) Currently paired with what is likely the original, in rough, travel-able shape. Ask me about upgrading this. Obviously the handle as electrical wire should go... I may have a handle to add to this case if you'd prefer to keep this case.

Sound files to enjoy; Check Track #3 for the best Conn sample: "ALTOs file: "Conn 6M Set x3": Conn 6M's (RTH): '34 #261k, '37 #282k-VIII, '42 309k-VIII-"U.S.", New Sound File 8-2015"
