1952 Conn 10M “Naked Lady” Tenor Saxophone – with vintage Conn case. The Conn 10M is known as one of the most legendary models ever produced in the saxophone world. These tenors are famous for their big, loud American tone. They play quite differently from Selmer tenors, these Conn 10M’s have a huge presence and their sound really fills a space. The tone is big but also focused with lots of beautiful subtones. This particular Conn 10M example was manufactured in 1952 and is one of the last true 10M’s produced at the factory in Elkhart, Indiana, USA. The body of the sax appears to be nice and straight and in very good shape. I see several small dings, scratches, and lacquer loss in various areas of the sax, but nothing major. This sax has survived remarkably well for its age. The pads are a bit older but are still in good shape. Neck looks very nice, with no pull down and a nice vintage patina. This sax has spent the last 20+ years in storage, thus I would recommend that the new owner gets the saxophone fully adjusted and serviced prior to active playing. This sax appears to have its original Conn case with the Conn label still attached to the inside case cover. Please remember this is a vintage saxophone, so wear and tear during a lifetime of playing is to be expected. These vintage Conn 10M tenors are very hard to find in good shape. The full-bodied tone of these Conn tenors is unmistakable, the new owner will have a very special sax!
