Here is one of the very rare late Conn sops (one of less than 10 I'm personally aware of from the late 30s-early 40s era). I'd jump on this, but I've already got one!

No connection with seller; just FYI.

Yeah, I saw it too. Is this the same design as the 20s curved sop, but with later engraving? Or is it actually an updated design?

Very slightly retooled in a few places. The side high E key is curved, and the octave system is a little different somehow.

They *may* also have made some intonation fixes -- mine plays better in tune up top than my previous ('26) curved.
