  1. Sax Repair, Maintenance and Modification
    I just repadded my Conn 10M and while doing so adjusted the key heights based on the recommendations from another thread on here. I went with about 6.5mm for LH stack and 9mm for right hand stack, which is more open than it was before. This makes it play much louder which is cool, and the...

    Hi everyone A friend of mine is thinking of selling their 10M sax. I'd like to get an indication of how much it could be worth. Could you please help? The 327249 serial number indicates this is from 1948, right? Also, the B and the L after the serial number. The L stands for "Low Pitched"...

    Just got her a few days ago and I gotta say I think I’ve already fallen in love haha. I’m new to tenor so it was really tough deciding between a fair amount of vintage saxes, but this Conn won me over against much much more expensive Selmers. Plus my grandpa played a Conn way back in the good...

    Lately I've been swapping between my 10ms more and more and I've began to notice just how different the brass reacts on each horn. I would say that I don't have very acidic sweat, my horns rarely have verdigris or any serious oxidation. The three horns in particular are from 1936, 1951, and...

    Which would you choose and why? 1945 Conn 10M (with rolled tone holes, great condition) or P Mauriat 100 series (basically a new horn) Thanks!
  7. Sax Repair, Maintenance and Modification
    So I recently got a conn 10m, but after playing it for a few weeks, I started noticing some problems with notes in the lower stack not speaking as easily as they should. It's worth mentioning that I am by no means a professional, but I have good command over the horn. I noticed some problems...

    Hey saxontheweb, I just purchased a Conn 10m tenor, circa 1952. I also have a Conn 16m in poor repair, though I'm not sure what year it's from. Seems to be early in the run. Anyways, when playing around with these two horns, I've realized that somehow the 16m neck on the 10m really opens up the...

    This is a long shot, but I'm looking for a specific neck for my horn. I own either a prototype or later 10m that was experimented on prior to the Elkhart factory closing. When I received the horn it came with no neck; thus my search for the original one. The horn is bare brass with no signs of...
  10. Bb Tenor
    I grew up playing a Mark VI tenor.. I took a very long break from music. I now have a 1941 Conn 10M. It plays so open that I miss that old Mark VI. It had just the right amount of resistance, where the 10M has none. Is there something I can do to create that resistance? I hear about changing...

    Hi all, a comparison of a 10M (1944) with a Radio Improved (1934). Both super horns to play. Hope informative/interesting/enjoyable etc. All the best, Tim

    Hi! An old band mate said he had a Conn tenor to sell and since I'm in the market for a tenor, I have now borrowed it to test play. I know nothing about these saxes so would be very happy if someone could give me some info. The serialno is M270xxx and he said that would put it as a 1935-36, do...

    Greetings all, would anyone happen to know what this unknown stain is at the bottom of my Conn 10M and what the cause for it? I just purchased the sax 340XXX and noticed that it has this green stain when inspecting the inside of the bell bottom( see photos). Thanks for the help. Sundi.
  14. Conn
    Hi all, I'm interested in potentially buying a 1953 Conn Ladyface tenor... I received some photo's from the seller, and was wondering if someone could help me identify the lacquer wear on this sax. I'm very inexperienced when it comes to older saxes, and my main concern is the brown spots and...
  15. Conn
    Hey all, This is a followup to a post on my 1957(?) Conn 10m. I have finished overhauling her and the horn plays great with the ebay neck. I did fit the neck by sanding the inside of it with 400, 600, and 1200 grit sandpaper to make sure that it would not mess up my tenon in any way. Tuning is...

    Hey all! I recently acquired a Conn 10m and I planned on just doing an overhaul on it as I'm a mildly experienced hobbyist repair man. Well, I bought the tenor with the knowledge that it was taken from Conn Elkhart when the factory closed. It arrived in bare brass with no insignia or serial and...

    I recently acquired a late Conn 10m tenor with no neck. While I would love to find a clean double socket neck, realistically that probably won't happen. The horn is bare-brass and I would rather not have to strip nickel off of the octave mechanism to get it to match. How hard would it be to take...
