Conn 30M "Connqueror" Tenor Saxophone, Video, Original Lacuqer, Overhaul
1941 Conn 30M "Connqueror" tenor saxophone, s/n 298787. The saxophone just received a full mechanical overhaul from Mike Livingston, who does incredible repair work. Mike is a top notch saxophonist as well, so he puts in the time to make sure that horns that he overhauls are in perfect playing condition. This means pads that are sealing very well, and tonal balance between all registers.
The 30M is Conn's deluxe version of the famous 10M, and has the same fat, spread sound as the 10M, but with some extra features including sterling side and palm key touches and the 'permadjust' system which allows you to adjust the key mechanism and not rely on felts and corks to do the same. The left hand pinky mechanism is also an improvement from the 10M.
This saxophone is in fantastic condition especially considering that it's over 80 years old. The lacquer is original and over 90% is still present. The neck is original and has never been bent down. It's quite rare to find a 30M in this good of original condition, so if you're in the market for a horn like this, don't wait too long before it's gone.
