FS: Alto saxophone - Conn 6M (early model)

I am ending this year in something of a deficit, so hoping to sell this baby to make some of my recording money back (well, cannot complain, still have 4 other altos) - this horn is described as follows:

"New Wonder Transitional" models (s/n 235xxx to 262xxx): Conn referred to these horns with just a model number (e.g. "6M" for an alto), but during this period of manufacture, both split- and same-side bell key horns were available, and they have a variety of engraving differences from other 6M models, so this is an invented, albeit quite common, name." 

this is 235xxx - early-mid 1930s, I believe

all I know is that the horn plays beautifully and is in very nice cosmetic shape; has been set up by the great Joe Kingston.

 

has tuning mechanism; to me, plays like a classic 6M

 

 

 

will ship in the USA for $1200 fully insured. My paypal is

alowe5@maine.rr.com

email me at

(though I would not be averse to avoiding paypal fees on this one) -

must be someone out there who wants to hit the big time - this is a pro model  -
