SOLD - (SOUND FILES) Cousin to the Top Hat & Cane, I would label these "Model: 400, series III". Get a TH&C tone for 60% less cost! I consider these to be some of the best bargain/undervalued saxes in the market. You get the engineering designs of previous 400 models with a few changes to neck braces, octave triggers, guard designs, no silver bell ring(underside), but the big bell and 400 rear bell keys.
Conn 1955 ’10M’ Bb Tenor, #566k (Archived)
SOLD - Sound File - A rare beauty! A beautiful example here of what some might call the "last of the real 10Ms" before the Mexico era. An affordable 10M - Comes with a custom built case is great condition. This sax was adult owned, last owner was Owner #3. As I inspected it, I saw about two small dings/dents in the history and one ping. Comes inquire to be owner #4!

SOLD - SOUND FILE - A beautiful "The Martin Tenor", with an early serial number (matching neck #), and many original features present: brown felt... 98% original lacquer in excellent condition. I am biased and I love these, especially the early serial number ones (darker tone).
