Rare 1950 Conn 28m Connstellation Professional Alto Saxophone Wow

Most of the keys move freely and the pads/corks are in fair condition(some pads, key corks and the neck cork need to be replaced soon). There are no major dents present and several minor dings are too small to photograph. This alto sax has minor scratches throughout from normal use and the lacquer has minimal wear, with 95% of lacquer intact(I'm unsure if the lacquer is original). The serial number is in the upper 335,7xx range, which dates manufacture to approximately 1950 and the plastic body guard is intact(no chips or breaks, but there are a couple of minor cracks around the screws). Included is a used and worn alto sax case, with room to hold a clarinet in a separate compartment and a flute in the case lid.

The case latches catch, but are old and stiff to operate. About this model, it was designed with input from Santy Runyon, and is a departure from Conn's other pro sax lines (the 6M and the 26M).

This horn is considered Conn's. But alas, it was only built for about 4 years. Because of this, it's not only an amazing horn, it is one of the.
