    I've been looking around for vintage Conn tenor saxes and came across a 60s "L Series". I've never heard of this model but it looks exactly like a late 10M to me. I tried searching it up and got nothing. Are L Series and 10Ms just the same thing? If not, what's the difference? (The horn is...

    hi all, for a 10m with serial on body of 352xxx and a 3 digit on the neck of 325 (facing forward on the rim where the neck goes into the body) - what does this neck id mean? is it the number of thousands that should match the body or maybe the factory made necks separately , stamped them, and...

    As much as I really like my 7* Link, it doesn’t really fit every scenario I want to play in. I understand 10ms are very picky with their mouthpieces, so I figured I’d ask you guys what mouthpieces usually go well with the 10m as to avoid buying one that won’t get along with the horn. (I heard...

    Not long ago I made a thread talking about my decision to buy either a Selmer Mark VII or a Cannonball vintage reborn. As you can see I got neither, as my opinion was swayed by literally one youtube video (Link below) and I fell in love instantly. I took to Reverb and found a nice looking...

    Hi all - no. 7 in the Lockdown Ballad series, Old Folks, on my 10M with a Florida USA STM. Don't worry, when I hit 10 you'll get some respite ;) Cheers, Tim

    Hi all. I don't get nearly as much time as I'd like to do these - but here's a classic ballad (thanks to Dexter of course - esp for the ending!) on my lovely 1940s Conn 10M with an STM Florida USA. All the best to you all, Tim

    I inherited my grandfather's 1944 Conn 10M (with the topless lady engraving). He played it professionally way back in the day, so it's always been well-maintained. I had it serviced and re-padded (roo pads) by the excellent technicians at Melk Music in Milwaukee, WI, but otherwise it's 100%...

    Hi everybody! I'd like to discuss a topic about the position of the neck octave vent on a Conn New Wonder II tenor neck. Well, I'll try to be straight to the point: I recently acquired a 1929 Conn NWII that makes me very happy tonewise. However the intonation from octave A and above is about 20...

    Hi Folks, I have recently acquired a 1936 conn 10m tenor saxophone that has supposedly been "refurbished" but has what appear to me to be 3 damaged rolled tone holes. My instinct is to run fast in the opposite direction, having heard horror stories of rolled tone holes that have been filed...

    Leaving a Cannonball Pete Christlieb vintage tenor for a 10M. Is this wise? I'm 50 and played in junior high school and really want to get good. Had a few lessons via skype with Greg Fishman and David Valdez but my work schedule makes it difficult. Also started transposing various solo's using...

    I saw a Naked Lady and was interested in knowing if it is worth buying a 10M with a later serial like 661,XXX. From the pictures, It clearly has a naked lady engraved into it. The sax is in decent condition and has a micro-tuner neck. Am I going to regret buying this over say a newer...

    My 1936 10M with its original neck is approximately 11-1/4 inches in length. I can get the horn to play in tune, but barely, by pulling off the mouthpiece leaving only about 1/2 inch of cork under the piece. Reducing the wobble is accomplished with a sheet of ordinary Sticky-Notes paper from the...
