Saxophones Conn Shooting Star alto on Ebay

[lig]

I received an offer from the seller via eBay today.

They were kind enough to offer it to me for $2900 and change.

I countered with $150.00 telling the seller that I've actually owned one of these and that the price was completely out of line for a solid but otherwise pedestrian student horn.

I don't think they'll accept. 😀

I'm still leaning towards my first suspicion.

Wife - "You sound terrible on that thing! Sell it now!"

Husband- "It's up for sale!"

6 months later

Wife - "Why are you still playing that thing? I told you to put it up for sale!"

Husband - "Here's the listing! It isn't a seller's market, and I know what I have!"

It’s not a 14m Director but rather a later 50m. Most likely made in USA during the’70s. Where ?
Also I just tried to send you a PM on your C Melody question. Your membership for this takes a day or so for the privilege. Be patient.
Welcome to the Café ! Do take a moment to introduce yourself when asked. People are “real” here.

Oh interesting! I did not know of the 50m. I had an early 14m and it was a great horn, played a few later ones and they had a noticeable drop in quality. Are the 50m's similar to that?

Yeah no worries there. Thanks!

The 50M is basically a Beaugnier design. I have a friend who has one, I gave it a try, it played very nicely.
