MINT Conn 26M Connqueror deluxe & improved 6M VIII Naked Lady pro alto saxophone
The rarest of the rare, the best of the best.. Conn 26M Connqueror aka… Artist model, Naked Lady, lady face, etc. The Conn 26M has always been regarded as one of the very best saxophones ever made. The Conn 6M (aka standard) saxophone is clearly known to be one of the favorite alto saxophones of all time. In fact, some players prefer the Conn 6M to any other saxophone to date.. Conn (Charles Gerard Conn & Company) took the deluxe and very rare 26M “Connqueror” series several steps further than the base 6M model… With much improved ergonomics (check out the placement of the left hand pinky table relative to the upper stack keys), larger/oversized pinky table, improved & faster mechanism, silver-inlaid key touches on every key that doesn’t have a pearl (and the right thumb hook), individual adjustments for each key to allow for set & forget long-term adjustment via the Conn perm-adjust system. Want a better Conn 6M VIII? This 26M is it! Original Conn key pearls and rollers. Amazing near-mint condition for its nearly 85 years of age, and the unmistakable Conn pinky table keys are in good alignment. It has some very very minor lacquer pitting and minor dings/scratches – common for this vintage. One key guard foot was resoldered on the back of the bow. Even though the finish may not be original (I only say this because it appears to have a slight orange-peel texture to me – perhaps I’m wrong however) it may be the factory finish or factory refinish – regardless the engraving is sharp & absolutely perfect, and this 26M saxophone is surprisingly complete and unmodified. It has the original Conn 26M micro-tuner double socket neck; no sign of any pull down; some very minor dings (see photos); the 6M/26M sax have a completely unique & sleek neck design with the very different under-slung octave lever. This neck is stamped: “STD’D M” meaning it is a limited-edition special neck (similar to the “VIII” neck). Rolled tone holes (RTH) – a unique feature and they are much easier on the key pads. The pads have Conn appropriate metal resonators. Metal resonated leather pads – I believe these are Conn reso-pads… The right stuff for this iconic sax. All keys operate, move freely, and quickly – just as they should on a Connqueror. With a play test – it is in need of an adjustment – however you can tell that this 26M Connqueror alto has some serious power and wants to unleash it! Even for a Conn 26M Connqueror this one has some rare features.. The STD’D M stamped neck. It has the very desirable pivoting right hand thumb rest! It is engraved with the word CONNQUEROR prominently on the bell! I believe all of these features were only available the first year or so of the 26M. Yet I’ve seen several that don’t have all three of these features – so… This is rarer and an extra desirable combination. This legendary professional saxophone is a rare find – particularly in this pristine condition. First come, first served… Don’t miss this super rare, near-mint Conn 26M CONNqueror Naked Lady. Vintage saxophones this special don’t come along every day, make an offer.. Includes the factory original Connqueror-only tweed case in fair-good condition. It will be packed well.

The rarest of the rare, the best of the best… Conn 30M Connqueror aka… Artist model, Naked Lady, lady face, etc. The Conn 30M has always been regarded as one of the very best saxophones ever made. The Conn 10M (aka standard) saxophone is clearly known to be one of the favorite tenor saxophones of all time. In fact, some players prefer the Conn 10M to any other saxophone to date.. Conn (Charles Gerard Conn & Company) took the deluxe and very rare 30M “Connqueror” series several steps further than the base 10M model… With much improved ergonomics (check out the placement of the LH pinky table relative to the upper stack keys), larger/oversized pinky table, improved & faster mechanism, silver-inlaid key touches on every key that doesn’t have a pearl (and the right thumb hook), individual adjustments for each key to allow for set & forget long-term adjustment via the Conn perm-adjust system. Good condition for its over 80 years of age. There are dings & scratches common for this vintage, and some soldering repair history, but nothing major. It is fitted with a modern ergonomic right thumb rest. It has the original Conn 30M neck; some dings (see photos); the 30M sax has a completely unique & sleek neck design with the special split over/under slung octave lever. Rolled tone holes (RTH) – a unique feature and they are much easier on the key pads. The original Conn pearl rollers are surprisingly all present and intact, although a couple are a bit stiff. The leather pads are in fair condition and have Conn appropriate metal resonators. All keys operate, move freely, and quickly… Just as they should on a Connqueror. It could use a check up and possibly a cleaning of the patina if you like. The engraving is great – both clear & crisp. Plus, this is one of the rarer early horns that is actually engraved with the word CONNQUEROR prominently on the bell – that is a big plus! This legendary professional saxophone is a rare find. First come, first served… Don’t miss this super rare Conn 30M CONNqueror Naked Lady. With the original Conn 30M Connqueror neck included. Vintage saxophones this special don’t come along every day, make an offer.. Includes a non-original Conn case that is in good condition. It will be packed well with care.

The Conn 10M standard saxophone is clearly known to be one of the favorite tenor saxophones.

Original Conn key pearls and rollers. Fair condition for its nearly 80 years of age, and the unmistakable Conn pinky table keys are in good alignment. It has lacquer pitting/dents/dings – common for this vintage. This one may need some TLC in my opinion… You may want to strip it down, clean it up, perhaps re-engrave, and rebuild it exactly to your specification; alternatively have your sax tech address any issues and just enjoy the patina on this classic beauty like a badge of honor; or something in between – that is completely up to you. It has the original Conn 30M neck; no sign of any pull down; some dings (see photos); the 30M sax has a completely unique & sleek neck design with the special split over/under slung octave lever.

These 30M Connquerors are very hard to find – particularly in this price range. You cannot beat this price for a Conn 30M Connqueror. First come, first served… Don’t miss this super-rare Conn 30M Connqueror Naked Lady! Includes a vintage non-original case that also needs some TLC. It will be packed well with care.
