Hello. I have a Conn 10M tenor sax for sale. It is serial number 304714, making it a 1943. It has rolled tone holes, which Conn stopped in 1948. This improves the tone noticeably over newer Conn horns, and many modern saxes don't have them. Mechanically it is in great shape. It had a tune up and 6-8 pads replaced a few years ago. The lacquer is in fairly good shape for being almost 75 years old, but it does have a couple knicks in the lacquer on the bell and around the bottom of the instrument. Every review I found online when I researched these horns when I bought this one in 2006 said it has all the character of an old instrument combined with the build quality of a modern, mass produced horn, and I agree completely. Comes with a Protech hard case, and I can throw in a Seller C* mouthpiece and Neotech strap if you want.
