Saxophones conn 1933 transitional tenor sax

[thomsax]

I’m thinking the Eb trill went away in 1930 beginning with the Typewriter ?

Martin Handcraft Imperial, and also Handcraft Standard, have Eb vent/trill key. The small key below D key/tonehole. Use to be a closed key and opens on other models.

At the end of it all I had set my goal at a 10m tranny from 1933..opened to that decade..I think I should bite the bullet costwise, it will come from mums estate. E bay one seems the best match..

Then I have to write: Congratulation to your new sax! I'm sure you and the Conn will be a good combo. You inspired me to think in the same direction. I started to honk sax around Christmas in 1968. Only two years until the 60th anniversary! 😉 Yesterday I decided to renovate the 1968 "New King" tenor and to give up the Martin HC 1938. So now I have a good reason to sing, play/practice the saxophone + doing mountainbike and kettlebell training so I can do my very best!!! I keep you posted.

Good luck with the 10M tranny and the "sax - sing - a- long" project.

The beginner/intemediate "New King".

That’s a decent looking horn. Ask questions. At full premium there should be zero issues.

I completely forgot about this feature. Good eye again! Was this feature consistent on A,T & B all throughout the years ? If it was the mystery continues.

The Martin Story examples of A,T,B all show the key.
