This is a great-playing example of a desirable vintage Conn New Wonder II Chu Berry tenor saxophone manufactured in 1928, #M209XXX. His sax is in well-worn used condition with plenty of wear and scratching from many years of playing, the vintage laquer is worn to nearly bare brass, but everything works great, and it is set up to good playing adjustment on pads around midlife or older, with necessary recent replacements. Some pulldown in the neck as seen in photo #5 which also shows a light soldered patch, no effect on the great sound of this sax. Very free-blowing with a warm vintage edge.
