A late era 6M with potential of sweet sounds. I'm looking at this new sax as a "Tuned-Up Player" for pricing and speed of enjoyment. That means working with the existing pads and doing limited repairs, rather than investing $1,000+. This sax does have older pads and I think some can play for a while longer.

Finish looks like a relac with the engraving faintly visible - however this era was known for light engravings. I will price it for the lower lean on this.

TONE: Expect rich and crisp like a 6M. Built for classic jazz and smoky vibes.

CASE: Original conn wood case. in rough condition, (safe for shipping.)
