Conn 50M Alto Saxophone "Shooting Stars" model.
Early model 50M from early 1960's, last of the USA built Conn saxes beofre they moved to mexico.
This one won't win a beauty competition, it has a very dark lacquer finish. There are dings, scratches and lacquer loss throughout the instrument - but this just adds to the cool factor for me. It has, however, all new pads and corks and plays well from low Bb to high F without any problems. These have a larger bore than most modern instruments and has good volume & that classic Conn sound.
Included is the original case, a mouthpiece (incl. ligature & cap) and neck strap.
Quick blast demo - http://youtu.be/w7O3po6j9Bk
Its also on fleabay, at the moment but lm going to pull it if it doesnt reach my asking price.
Looking for £170 + p&p (Donation to pete's charity from me)
