Conn 10M Tenor Saxophone Overview
This Conn 10M is an "as-is" restoration project instrument that is not playable in its current condition. It will require a complete overhaul before musical use. The 10M is a respected vintage American professional tenor saxophone, long valued by players who appreciate a broad, projecting tonal concept and the substantial feel associated with classic Conn saxophone design. This instrument represents one of Conn's best-known tenor models and will be of particular interest to saxophonists, collectors, and technicians who understand the musical appeal of vintage professional horns.
