Conn 1936 ‘Chu-Transitional-12M’ Eb Baritone, #271k (Archived)

1936 Conn "Chu-Transitional-12M" Baritone

THE Baritone Sax

For the Gerry Mulligan lovers! ... Ser#271k, Original finish at 90%--color is great! LADY FACE/Naked Lady pentagram engraved on the bell.  It needs a rebuild.  She arrived with lots of dents and dings. I'll work those out.  The neck ring was replaced with a 1940s king zephyr three-ring neckstrap ring (this is actually a good thing for you players). The only other 'bad' worth mentioning, is the Opt F# guard has been lost. I have found a 12M replacement part!! (in bare brass).  There are some dents on the back side that I want to improve and the body tube will straighten during the rebuild; I have no worry there.

Case: currently has the Conn-wrapped original. Let's talk about upgrading this...(Protec standard or deluxe cases would be worth the investment ($250-550?).

Let's get it rebuilt with a WWS Rebuild ($1,200+) and let's talk about the special rebuild details you want on this one.  larger brass resos?!? This sax will be a great player with a huge tone!; don't forget the insane market-desire on this model for the Collector in you.
