Here's another prime era 6M that will be a bargain for the actual transformation that it underwent! This sax had a massive Restoration invested: Matte/shiny bare brass, new matte-effect applied (blasting) and they took exquisite care to mask off the engraving for protection! Beautiful! Serial #282xxx = superb. It received NEW SPRINGS--stainless! Current pads are selmer-style with plastic resos. They have lots of life left. Comes with a vintage Conn Chu case currently. (If you want to buy a newer one/swap... Let's chat.).
***Bottom line description: This is a very very sought after sax to love, play and collect. It has a custom finish. If it got about $100 of tune up work, you'd have a sax that was ready to play your guts out for several years to come!
