Description
This C.G. Conn 6M alto saxophone with Naked Lady full-bust engraving has 85-90% of the lacquered finish remaining. There is some very light evidence of dent removal in the bottom bow. There are some signs of oxidation on the back bottom tone hole. Please see the pictures for details. The serial number on the saxophone reads “325429” making this a 1947 vintage horn. Engraved on the back of the horn is “6M PAT.APP’D FOR E 325429 L”. The engraved letter “L” below the serial number denotes that the horn is in low pitch. Until the mid-1940s, Conn made both high and low-pitched horns. Engraved on the bell is “Made-By C.G. Conn LTD. Elkhart-Ind. U.S.A.” with the Naked Lady full bust engraving below. This saxophone has rolled tone holes, mother-of-pearl rollers, wire key guards, and the socket/double sleeve style microtuner neck with the under-slung octave key. It comes in a good-used replacement case. This horn does not come with a mouthpiece.
