Conn 10M Ladyface

This is one of the first official 10M model tenors made by Conn during the 1930s. The serial number dates it to end 1936 according to the serial list found on Saxpics.com. It has the 10M stamp and lacks the M-pre-fix (used on the previous model). This is the most sought-after (pre-war) type with all features, like extra G sharp trill key, forked E key and rolled tone holes. The Ladyface engraving is rather thin, as often seen during this serial range. Definitely original lacquer, with the usual lacquer wear. It's a terrific horn to play, very free blowing! Lots of power, fast ergonomic keywork and a full sound, as can be expected from these horns! Condition : The sax was completely overhauled in 2015 by Precision Woodwind Service and hardly palyed after the overhaul. It is technically in new condition. The bow section has a mild dent on the bow, and there are a couple of minor pings. No serious damage or repairs! All original cellulose rollers are intact, and all locking screws are present. This horn has two ring strap hooks: the original one and an additional one for better balance.The original neck is in great shape, with no evidence od pulldown or damage.
