1937 Conn 10M Tenor Saxophone in very good to excellent condition.  Skillfully relacquered a long time ago, the engraving is crisp and clear.  There have been a few minor repairs over the 8 decades of this saxophone's life, as can be seen in the photos.  It has been very well cared for, and was recently adjusted by a professional sax technician.  This is a player's horn!  It has the huge, expressive sound that these pre-war Conn 10M "Naked Lady" tenors are famous for.Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, and many other great tenor players have played Conn 10M's of this vintage.This particular tenor sax belonged to a long-time professional who played for decades in the band "Bill Haley and the Comets."It will come in a more recent Conn case that fits it well.  Any questions, please feel free to ask.
