The saga continues regarding my Conn 10M I purchased a month ago.
The main curiousity on the horn, is the neck. The neck had an extra bar attached on top of it, and the support bar and double-socket shows evidence of soldering. When I brought it in to my tech to have a considerable amount of play removed from the octave key, he believed that the neck may have been 10M, but that the keywork and double-socket looked Martin of origin! I'm really curious exactly what it is!
(The neck does play well and in tune, even though there are some noticable dents and warbled on the interior, near and on the double socket.)
I've taken a few pictures and put them in a .pdf file on my website. Totally download size is around 700Kb, so even on dialup shouldn't take long to look at.

Note: You'll notice some small leather circles in a few spots. Those were added by me as bumpers to help remove play. They've actually worked quite well!
