I have decided to sell my Conn 10M and keep my YTS 62 (promised the wife I`d only keep one of each sort.....shame!!!) I`ll donate 5% of sale price to Pete`s charity as per.....!
It has just been in the excellent hands of the sublime GRIFF. He has de-dented , fully serviced, set up the action (light and fast) and repadded it where needed (7 new pads). It`s serial number is 350535, which places it in 1952...i.e straight tone holes but well before standards went to Mexico.
In Griff`s own words, it "sings like a bird", in tune through the range and with all the big sound and power you would expect from one of the world`s finest saxophones.
The lacquer is past its best, but it looks pretty good even so. I`d like to get around £850 for it. ( I`d consider a trade p/x aginst something interesting, but please don`t tell my wife!). The case it came over in is an old Selmer which will also carry an alto and flute or clarinet in the lid. Its the snakeskin style and is a bit scruffy but perfectly functional.
Here are some pictures to dwell on.
