The Conn 10M, commonly referred to as a “Naked Lady” model due to the engraving on the bell, is arguably one of the best performing vintage tenor saxophones ever made. To many, it represents the pinnacle of American saxophone production. These horns posses unique combination of quick response with a massive body of sound and tonal presence that is hard to duplicate in modern instruments. However, due to their age, many of these horns are in a state of disrepair that prevents the player from truly appreciating the true performance of the Conn 10M.
I bought this horn from a very reputable vendor whose shop did an overall and play tested it. The current Conn 10M tenor sax on hand:
is a Conn 10M “Naked Lady” Tenor Sax #318,427 – made in 1946.
The sax plays very well top to bottom. I have a couple of other vintage 10Ms that I use more frequently and this one really should go to someone who will play it regularly. Send me any questions.
