FWIW, 12M's were not made with low-A's. Conn modified the 12M by extending the body tube to create a low-A model, but it was called the 13M. I've never played a 13M, but they have rather a bad reputation.

Also, if you want people to send you pictures, you'll probably want to post an e-mail address.

I have a wonderful 12M I have to sell, very nice condition, all new hollywood resonator pads, plays with a huge sound. I am not 100% sure if it was a relacq. but there is still the naked lady on it, no rolled tone holes and it has the X bar and high F front key, it is a 350K serial number and it kills. $1600.00 plus shipping from New Jersey.

Mike, the first extended tube horn was the 11M, made for just a few years about 1970 and largely with the old 12M tooling. The later (not so good) model was the 13M (still made).

I know at least one pro using an 11M, although bari is not his primary horn.
