Conn New Wonder II / Chuberry

General description : Lots of the New Wonder Series 2 (aka ChuBerry) altos were made between 1924 and 1930. All of the "Series II" horns had rolled tone holes and "nailfile" G# keys. Conn started changing the design of the alto and the Transitional altos were introduced end of 1929, shortly after the Great Depression. Its rather easy to find a Chuberry alto through the online platforms, but most of them are in very worn condition and with lots of damage. They were also made in gold-plated version, with the famous Stenberg engravings. Beautiful horns, with a fantastic warm sound! This specific ChuBerry alto was built end of 1928 and is in fantastic condition! It was completely rebuild and professionally reacquered (with nickel plated keywork) by the previous owner: a pro-player from Chicago who retired a couple of years ago.Condition : an absolute beauty: just have a look at the pictures!
